IT TAKES JUST 60 SECONDS TO STEAL YOUR CAR!
Keyless entry systems, despite their convenience, are a double-edged sword. Reliant upon a constant signal between the vehicle and key fob, the system is fully at risk 24/7 to key cloning & relay thefts.
Hackers use a relay device, which intercepts and amplifies the signal between the key fob and the car, tricking the system into thinking the key is nearby and allowing thieves to steal your vehicle in less than a minute!
The keyless functionality is only utilised for less than 1% of the time in any given 24-hour period, yet the key fob continuously emits a signal. This constant state of vulnerability leaves ample opportunity for thieves to strike!
How Does Relay Hacking Work?
Within 60 seconds, thieves can detect your key fob signal, unlock and steal your vehicle
Signal Interception
Two thieves work together to ensure a quick & successful relay hack, each carrying a relay box capable of detecting and amplifying the signal used by the vehicle & associated key fob.
Signal Amplification
The first thief stands closest to the house of the car owner, utlising their relay box to intercept the low-frequency signal the key fob constantly emits.
Unauthorized Access
The intercepted signal is amplified and sent to the second relay box near the car, tricking it into thinking the key fob is in close proximity, allowing the doors to be unlocked & ignition to be started.
