So like…, well after midnight a couple of nights ago, I was located
on a first-floor underground parking garage – maintenance-workin’ my
vehicle. When, for no apparent reason, a
Ford SUV type thing parked opposite of me started chirping and its doors
started locking and unlocking a handful of times. Odd, I thought. (Like…, maybe the owner was nearby and playing
with the vehicle’s remote keyless entry system?) Then a Toyota SUV type thing parked right next
to the Ford started doing the exact same thing, a couple of moments later.
The coincidence made me wonder whether remote keyless systems
are no longer secure, whether there was more going-on that Snowden didn’t tell
us about or didn’t know to tell us, or something else had happened to cause the
commotion. Given how much time that I had
spent in that garage prior to this experience, I had never heard all that happen. It was strange.
