Kia's vulnerability allowed attackers to remotely unlock and start vehicles using just the car's license plate, revealing significant security flaws in connected car systems.
Sam Curry, a security researcher, discovered that Kia Connect could be exploited to access virtually every connected Kia sold in the last decade in under 30 seconds.
This incident serves as a wake-up call for the automotive industry, underscoring the urgent need for improved cybersecurity measures in connected vehicles.
Kia patched the flaw within two months, but the ease of the attack highlights ongoing challenges in securing automotive technologies against increasingly sophisticated hacking techniques.
