Hacking Kia: Remotely Controlling Cars With Just a License Plate
samcurry.net
On June 11th, 2024, we discovered a set of vulnerabilities in Kia vehicles that allowed remote control over key functions using only a license plate. These attacks could be executed remotely on any hardware-equipped vehicle in about 30 seconds, regardless of whether it had an active Kia Connect subscription.

    As I said in my comment, that can be done with the key, no Internet connection needed.

    As for the lock thing, I just need to look if my mirrors are folded in or not.

        A) you can survive without precooling or set it to start before getting deep into the store.

        B)if you want that feature fine, but leave it off everyone else’s car! No cell connections should be installed by default like this. It’s a walking cve list waiting to happen.
