How are people even stealing cars by fob, then?
Edit: It’s in the article. By using the fob + an amp or cracking the codes like big boys, neither of which this can do. Flipper Zero should sue the government for defamation.
Yah, they just repeat the signal from a fob near a wall to hit the vehicle, which is now set to always open if the key is near enough. It’s a stupid setup that’s ripe for abuse like this, instead of just having the user press a button like they did before. That would have been impossible to exploit, but convenience always trumps security.
