Security flaw reportedly unlocks one car brand worldwide

Original: Unlocking any car from X brand in most of the world

A newly published write-up claims that cars from one unnamed brand can be unlocked in most of the world, describing a method that appears to exploit a weakness in the vehicles' locking system. The finding is drawing attention from security researchers and car owners alike, who are debating the severity of the flaw, how widely it can actually be exploited, and what the manufacturer should do in response.

Why now: A claimed vulnerability allowing someone to unlock a major car brand's vehicles is a striking security story with obvious implications for owners.
