To reduce the chances of becoming a victim, experts recommend installing security systems for cars that are aftermarket such as alarms and GPS trackers. They also suggest storing keys in a container made of metal, signal-blocking pouch or Faraday box, which can prevent relay attacks.
Dealerships can also safeguard their inventory by implementing physical security measures that include perimeter fencing, surveillance cameras and well-lit areas. They should also instruct their staff on how to manage keys and lockdown procedures in order to prevent thefts. If they are selling older vehicles, then they should consider an ignition immobilizer installed by the dealer.

Theft of Transponders
In order to stay up to date with the latest technologies and technology, thieves upgrade their equipment to be compatible with the latest technology. Criminals use a relay attack to steal cars that are keyless. Two individuals collaborate. The thief is positioned outside the home of the victim with a device that detects a signal from the key fob. This is then transmitted to a person waiting near the vehicle. The car will begin to start if the copied signal is recognized. Video footage from security cameras at home has revealed this happening with stolen vehicles being driven away in just a few seconds.
This is a rising threat to owners of all kinds and models, with even older luxury cars at risk. Tracker UK, a tracking company in the UK, stated that 98% of high-tech vehicles it found last year were stolen using keyless systems. Older luxury vehicles with lower-end keyless systems are the most at risk which includes Mercedes C- and E-Class, BMW 3 Series, Land Rover Discovery and Jaguar XF models.
Another way of stealing keys is code theft that can occur when you're not paying careful attention to where you place your key fob. For example, you might put it in your pocket when you're at home but forget to take it when you leave. If your device is in range of an in-home smart hub or security system that can be hacked, it is possible to gain access to the vehicle's control systems. A hacker with a good understanding of electronics can then modify the car's software to do whatever they want it to accomplish, like turning off the ignition and start driving off.

It involves thieves working in pairs and using equipment to intercept the signal transmitted by your fob when it's within the reach of the door or ignition to open and start your car got stolen with keys in it.
The keyless system is based on radio signals that are low-power and only operate when the fob is in close proximity to the doors or ignition. However, a skilled hacker can make use of specially designed equipment to amplify the communication between the vehicle and the fob, greatly extending the effective range of the system. This allows a criminal make the vehicle believe that the fob is in close proximity to start or unlock it, even though it could be mere meters away in the victim's pocket or at home.
Certain cars come with an additional security feature that blocks the ignition if the fob is too far away. However, this only is effective if the vehicle has been programmed to recognise the fob's signal at certain frequency. Hackers who have the code for the car system could reprogram the key fob so that it operates according to the frequency the car has been programmed to recognize. This can bypass the security feature.
The On-Board Diagnostics port (OBD), which is usually located under the steering wheel, could be used by car thieves to steal the code of your keyless transmission. This device, referred to as a "key programmer" is available on the internet for less than $1000. This tool is able to download the specific data of your car to a blank keyfob which allows the fob to be unlocked and start the vehicle as if it were the real thing.

Tracker is an insurance firm, found that luxury models contributed to up to half of all high-tech thefts that it assisted in recovering.
Theft of a Lockout
While keyless entry vehicles are a wonderful convenience, it doesn't need long for criminals to spot weaknesses in the system. While the traditional method of smashing car windows and hotwiring vehicles is still popular, more the thieves are using advanced methods that allow them to rob cars without breaking into homes. According to the data of tracking company Tracker, car thefts in the U.K. have reached an all-time peak with keyless thefts accounting for a significant portion of that total.
These new techniques are not only cheaper than traditional car thefts, but can be completed within a matter of minutes. A group of two thieves, for example could employ a device that intercepts the signal from the keyfob and transmits it directly to a transmitter in the hand of the other thief. The other thief can then unlock the car and drive away. The devices used by criminals can be bought for just $100, and they function effectively on a variety of makes and models.
The thieves are now able to, in addition to these high-tech techniques, capture the data sent from a key fob. They can then clone it and upload it to an unlocked fob. Key fobs cloned by a clone will be able unlock and start vehicles even though they're not the original keys.
ADAC's research revealed that a variety of popular vehicles including the Ford Fiesta and Toyota Prius, are vulnerable to this kind of theft. In reality a single key could unlock multiple vehicles using this method, which means that it is no longer necessary to target specific brands or models.
Car manufacturers now offer preventative measures to help keep cars safe against these new threats. For instance, Kia has created a faraday bag that can be tucked inside the pocket of a key fob to block signals and guard against theft. Other options include creating spare keys and keeping them in secure and accessible places, installing surveillance cameras around the driveway and home, and using apps that ensure you don't leave your car unattended.
