Scotland Yard cracking down on keyless entry hacking
The problem of car theft has gotten so bad in recent months that Scotland Yard is taking unprecedented action to try to prevent what it terms "car hacking."
Last month, Range Rovers in posh areas of London were being stolen so often that police were instructed to pull over any Range Rover in the vicinity to confirm it was being driven by its owner, the paper reported?which seems to be an extraordinary measure.
The problem is serious enough that Scotland Yard has a page on its site dedicated to the issue of keyless entry hacking:
