KTLA: High-tech, high-end car thefts in Southern California ‘an alarming new trend’
"...the suspect held up an antenna-like tool over his head while in close proximity to the house. The device was being used to amplify and intercept the signal from the key fob to the homeowner’s vehicle.
“They got the signal from the car, started it and took off,” he said. “My keys were in the kitchen. It’s not like they were at the front door. Who would’ve thought someone would come with an antenna and take your car away from you?”

VIDEO – 5 surprising key fob tricks you can do with your Subaru!
https://youtu.be/nq8ppEBuFPQ?si=8CQR5sSxqY9yE7Kl
I found this video useful as I did not know how to replace my key fob’s battery. I’ve been having the dealer replace it when I go for service and I’ve gotten low battery alerts for the fob.

Keep losing your key fob? Ford’s new “Truckle” is the answer.
image via arstechnica.comIt's called the "Truckle," and it's a hand-crafted silver and bronze belt buckle that might be the envy of every other cowboy out there, since this one has a place to keep your F-150's key fob without ruining the lines of your jeans. "Once you have it in there, you're not going to lose that key fob. You’re not going to be scratching your head (wondering) where it’s at. It's right there with you in the Truckle."

These push-to-start systems have absolutely contributed to car thefts. They are first & foremost a convenience feature with little thought to vehicle security.
This is what happens when convenience trumps security.

Hello Fellow Denizens of Infosec.Exchange!
Check out this really cool Faraday cage for your car keyfobs.
How do you overcome cybercrime . . . with style?
There’s a growing concern about criminals copying the signals from your car keyfob, commonly called a “relay hack.” To overcome this problem, some people use Faraday bags. They’ll throw their keyfob in a (usually) black, signal-proof, flexible bag when they get home. That works extremely well, because it stops your wireless car keys from emitting a signal which is then boosted by car thieves.
Thinking about typical consumers — let’s say your Aunt Linda — she probably doesn’t want some unsightly Faraday bag on her foyer table. But she wouldn’t mind stashing her keyfobs inside a beautiful product that also solves a security problem.
DUKU, a design and prototyping firm in the UK, developed an awesome version of a Faraday bag — except it’s round, solid and beautiful. The idea here is that consumers don't want to be thought of as being weird or odd. But they do want to solve their problems.
Why not work *with* human nature instead of against it? :blobthumbsup:
People like beautiful things. So, let’s make our solutions beautiful.
Currently in the prototype stage, DFLEKT isn’t available for sale yet.
➡️ Would you consider this as a gift for someone in your family?
➡️ Would this be a positive way to start a conversation about security?
➡️ Would a beautiful product like this make it easier to interest your significant other in cybersecurity?
DUKU has produced prototypes for me, however, I have no connection to the developers of DFLEKT. Just sharing this here as food for thought, and fuel for conversation.
