Car hacking technology bought online by organised crime gangs is fuelling an almost 20 per cent rise in vehicle thefts, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has revealed.
Criminals are increasingly turning to devices which enable them to hack into and drive off with high-end cars - without having to steal the keys, the NCA’s annual national threat assessment report said.
The so-called “electronic compromise” thefts also bypass keyless fobs, which have been the subject of increased security by car manufacturers after being targeted by thieves in recent years.
The devices hack into the controller area networks of cars, allowing them to be unlocked. They can be bought for as little as £2,500 online or on the encrypted message service Telegram.
