Skoda cars among those vulnerable to hack

Volkswagen Group has moved to dispel security concerns regarding nearly a hundred million cars sold in the past twenty years, including Skodas. Researchers from Birmingham University have warned that the keyless entry security system in nearly a hundred million Volkswagen group cars is vulnerable to a simple hack that could grant entry in under a minute. A spokesperson for Volkswagen Group said on Friday that while this is the case, the procedure would not allow thieves to start the car and drive off. Among the cars that are deemed vulnerable are VW, Audi, Seat a Skoda makes sold after 1995.
