Hacking Kia: Remotely Controlling Cars With Just a License Plate
samcurry.net
On June 11th, 2024, we discovered a set of vulnerabilities in Kia vehicles that allowed remote control over key functions using only a license plate. These attacks could be executed remotely on any hardware-equipped vehicle in about 30 seconds, regardless of whether it had an active Kia Connect subscription.

      I don’t know what “the first bunch” is so I can’t answer that but these are all definitely use while away from the car.

      sorry, I wanted to mean these:

      My car reminds me if the doors are unlocked or left open. I can adjust the charging speed at any time. I can turn on the HVAC and seat heaters before I leave. I can see my current state of charge. I can see exactly what is happening when my alarm goes off

      _

      Is that a real question? You’re going to figure out why your alarm is going off, and if it’s stolen you’re going to give it to the police so they can recover it…

      yes, why do you need a moving, online accessible high quality surveillance camera system is a real question.
      I don’t think you need this to report it to the police, the loud alarm and policeman on the road searching for the stolen car has worked well for decades. or at least I haven’t heard of car theft in… a pretty long time, so long that I don’t even remember.

      I dunno what an “extension” is but pretty sure it doesn’t exist or can’t do these things.

      oh it would exist if laws would force car makers to not place unremovable tracking systems in the car by default.

      but I that being said, think these tings do exist, in the form of little devices thay you can connect to your car’s OBD port, and they have a GPS receiver and a SIM slot to do it’s job.
