PETALING JAYA: Thieves are now able to steal, within a minute, cars that have push-start mechanism or keyless technology.
These thefts can even be carried out in under 30 seconds, said Vehicle Theft Reduction Council of Malaysia (VTREC) coordinator Mas Tina Abdul Hamid, who described the process as “relatively easy”. She said the thieves will hack the key fob, the small handheld remote control device that controls a remote keyless entry system.
