Millions of Toyota, Hyundai, Kia Car Keys Highly Vulnerable to Cloning: Report

Thieves are coming for your Camry, and may be able to use your car's own key to get access. If you’ve seen the classic movie Gone in 60 Seconds—the “good” one with Nicholas Cage—you’ve seen something like this in action. In the film, they used a device to read the signals from cars’ key fobs and then use it to unlock and steal the vehicle. This is kind of like that, but much less exciting. Instead of a posse of outlaw car bandits chasing a mythical Ford Mustang, tech-savvy car thieves may be able to gain access to Toyota, Hyundai, and Kia vehicles, all of which use the same Texas Instruments encryption technology. According to, European researchers there are potential holes in the security technology that could leave many vehicles open to attack.
