Keyless Cars: Risks and How to Protect Yourself

Keyless vehicles (keyless entry and push-button start) were designed to maximize convenience by using wireless communication between the car and the key fob (electronic key). The challenge is that, because these systems rely on radio-frequency signals and many models lack advanced controls such as UWB (Ultra-Wideband) they create an expanded attack surface that, in certain scenarios, may enable unauthorized unlocking and/or starting in a very short time, without the need to break windows or force locks.
