Many cars do not open or already run a traditional key. Instead, we have a wireless card. Comfortable, but unfortunately also dangerous. As it turns out, this type of card can be cloned.
On the YouTube was placed a video, showing how easy it is to hack into the latest BMW 1 Series In the car, the driver's seat is the OBD diagnostic port, which allows the service technician to connect to vehicle on-board computer and diagnose potential failure. It can also be used to clone the card's car if the owner loses his. The problem is that it can make not only the technician.
In the video you can see how the thieves smash the glass in the car, connect their own computer and wgrywają data on your blank card. After a moment, can easily start the car.
BMW has some vulnerabilities. The sensor does not record sound throughout the space around the car, so thieves stand in a certain place finish before cloning. Auto it is not blocked by the computer at the time of breaking the glass. A power the OBD port is still supported, it is not protected by any password or access code.
The car is not a computer or smartphone. Any software update may never get to a majority of the BMW 1 Series
Asked to comment on the case company BMW Poland. Unfortunately, despite the passage of two days we have not received any response.
Theft by manipulating OBD is not a problem that affects only the brand BMW. It applies to all producers equally. BMW meets all safety requirements and works continuously to further improve anti-theft systems. In this regard, BMW is working closely with the legislative authorities and other car manufacturers.
