Default Got Keyless Entry?

I knew it would only be a matter of time. A security research team in Switzerland has demonstrated a full on hack capable of stealing cars with keyless entry.

Full study here.

News article here.

I've always been suspicious of the "keyless" technology from a security perspective, but this method is really thinking completely outside the box. I'm thinking I need a metal container to protect my key from exploitation. So much for the convenience of not having to take your key out...

That was a good read. And to think these kind of cars are unstealable!
