A 'mystery device' is letting thieves break into cars and drive off with them, insurance group says - LA Times

'During a two-week time period, NICB investigators tested 35 different makes and models of cars using the car-hacking device and were able to start and drive away about half the vehicles. '

'Insurance crime investigators are raising alarms over a device that not only lets thieves break into cars that use keyless entry systems but also helps start and steal them. '

'Joe Gaynor said he has heard about the technology, but his department has never recovered a hacking device that has been used to break into or steal cars. '

'That signal is relayed to a second device, which tricks the car into thinking that the key fob is near the car. '

'Less than a year ago, he saw suspects unlocking his 2015 Audi Q5 on a surveillance camera outside his home at 3 a.m. with what appeared to be a device used to hack into cars. '
