With all the technology that new models are fitted with, you would think that stealing them will be much harder now but it looks like that is not the case especially for hackers.
A new CCTV camera in Houston, Texas caught a hacker stealing a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. His weapon of choice? A laptop. Wall Street Journal reported that this might not be the first incident as there was four other incidents of stolen Wrangler and Cherokee reported as well.
The hacker only needed 13minutes to gain access into the Jeep Wrangler and drive it away and the worst part is that nobody knows how they manage to use the laptop to gain access to the device.
FCA concluded that the thieves might have a tool that dealers usually have yo pair the car to the another key but what’s with the laptop? Until they find out how they are doing it, you might want to keep an eye on your older Jeep models.
