A vulnerability has been discovered in Kia cars, where hackers could potentially gain remote control of a vehicle using just its license plate number.
The vulnerability arises from weak or outdated encryption in telematics systems used by modern cars, such as those from Kia.
Kia has acknowledged the issue and is working on updating its software and strengthening encryption to protect against unauthorized access.
Vehicle owners can protect their cars by updating software, using strong authentication, disabling remote features when not needed, and monitoring for suspicious activity.
