    “Hyundai and Kia aren’t alone in this high-tech fight. The same resellers offer console-like devices that can brute force key combinations for modern Infiniti, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru and Toyota vehicles, among other makes not sold in the U.S.”

    Didn’t even see that part in the article that’s concerning. Maybe not all manufacturers but a lot of them need to step their security up then.

      There really isn’t a way to realistically shield against relay attacks. Most people say “just go back go physical keys”, but those are even less secure.

      Phone-as-key and keycard systems are vulnerable in the same way.
