Hyundai is being criticized for not informing customers about the security vulnerabilities in its Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric car, which has become an easy target for thieves. A recent incident highlighted a man, Elliott Ingram, whose car was stolen in under 20 seconds using a device that mimics the car's electronic key. The digital keys, which Hyundai promotes as a convenience, have been rendered insecure, raising concerns among owners who are now employing steering locks. Ingram demands compensation and stresses the need for better security measures to protect consumers.
This security system has been completely blown open, so anyone can attack it, he said. It's no longer fit for purpose.
The device records the signal from the car and within 10 seconds to two minutes completely [duplicates] the native one, says the website promoting the device.
Hyundai promotes the convenience of its digital and smart keys, which allow motorists to lock or unlock the doors and start the engine while carrying just a key fob or digital key.
Experts warned keyless systems could be successfully undermined and vehicles stolen without much effort.
