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.

    My car got dumbed for me because they killed the 3g network it was running on

      Just because you can’t use it doesn’t mean a hacker can’t. If someone discovered a vulnerability in the 3g handshake or encryption protocol, it could be an avenue for an RCE.

        Especially when there are no security updates anymore. They should just rip out any possible receiver there is for mobile communication

        Honestly if someone manages to figure that out I would want to know, that way I can finally use my cars remote start 😄
