KIA hacked! 2013—
Researchers recently discovered serious security flaws in Kia vehicles, which could allow hackers to take remote control of cars using only their licence plates. These flaws concern Kia's back-end systems , which gave attackers access to key vehicle functions, including unlocking, starting the engine and activating the horn.
The problem was identified in vehicles produced after 2013, and although Kia didn't immediately comment on the details of the incident, the case has raised concerns about the security of modern internet-connected vehicles. The company is expected to respond quickly with security updates to protect users and prevent potential attacks.
This discovery highlights the importance of cyber security in today's automotive industry, as more and more vehicles come with advanced networked technologies.
