Volkswagen drivers are facing another issue with their vehicles as, not only has Volkswagen left its ignition vulnerable, but researchers have discovered that the keyless entry system that unlocks the vehicle’s doors can also be hacked, affecting all cars sold since 1995. Rob Miller, Head of Operational Technology at MWR commented below.
Rob Miller, Head of Operational Technology at MWR:
“The car industry, and others producing equipment that consumers rely on for security, should take this research as a shot across the bows. Attacks will constantly evolve as new methods and technology become available to researchers and criminals. We need to consider not only how we are preventing the latest attacks, but how we can design systems so that we can quickly respond and adapt to new threats.”
