    CAN Injection - keyless car theft

    I may be behind the times, but found CAN Injection: keyless car theft an interesting, if slightly alarming, read. While the write up illustrates a Toyota RAV4, a quick search shows a video demonstration of such a device for Maserati/Chrysler 2012-2021 available on social media
