Steal Cars with a Laptop
by Sze | Filed under Laptop, Others
The laptop-toting have succesfully stolen two of football star David Beckham’s BMW X5 SUVs by hacking the keyless-entry systems with just a laptop.
Apparently thieves armed with a particular model’s security schematics can jack into the car’s PC and run software that dumps out the necessary codes for breaking the encryption, allowing them to unlock the doors, start the engine, and in some cases, even disable built-in tracking devices.
