Crooks Are Now Breaking Into Cars Via Remote Control | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
The circuit board is fast replacing the "slim jim" among clever car thieves to break into late-model vehicles.


Apparently today’s high-tech cars are fast falling prey to high-tech car thieves. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reports that savvy criminals are able to make breaking into a vehicle as easy as pushing a button. That’s because they’re using sophisticated electronic “scanner boxes” to deduce the radio frequency codes and pop the locks on the burgeoning number of late-model cars equipped with remote keyless entry systems, affording quick and easy access to personal property left inside the passenger cabin, glove box and/or trunk.


No glass is broken, any alarm is left untriggered and a thief could literally empty the contents of a car in plain sight on a crowded street without raising the attention of passersby.
