If you own a Volkswagen or Audi built between 1995 and 2016, it could be susceptible to ******s, researchers have discovered.
Computer security researchers at the University of Birmingham in England published a paper this week (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurity16/sec16_paper_garcia.pdf) detailing a low-tech hack that gave them access to dozens of VW Group vehicles sold since 1995.

Researchers were able to "eavesdrop" on the remote keyless entry controls of the cars while the owners locked or unlocked the vehicles, according (http://www.autonews.com/article/20160811/OEM06/160819963/keyless-systems-of-older-vw-cars-can-be-hacked-researchers-say) to Automotive News. This allowed the researchers to mimic the remote signal with "cheap technical devices." Read more...
