    For those of you, including me, that use a remote start with the MyCar app, you should be aware that the app had a vulnerability that allowed a hacker to locate all vehicles and unlock them. I could tell the app was cobbled together but I had hoped it wasn't coded by amateurs. Apparently it was and it's been difficult for them to fix even basic security holes.

    Again, just an FYI.
