The problem of the high-tech hackers is that that equipment can be bought from anywhere. There are no special permissions needed for buying the computer or WLAN equipment. The hacking of the automobiles and other remote-controlled vehicles is basically the same thing as the wardriving. The data transmission from the electronic key will route to go via hackers laptop computer, and the hacker can use that signal to open the cars and even use their motor.
The equipment what is needed is simply the WLAN card of the computer. Also, the car thieves might use ECM-transmission to avoid the electronic signal pass to the car, and then the doors will be open. ECM-transmission is the simply radio signal what will disturb the signal of the electronic key, and then the computer doesn’t know that the doors will not be closed, and the alarm system will not be activated. The thieves need only the radio transmitter, that operates at the same frequency than those car keys.
Then they must be sharp and then activate that system when somebody comes out the car, what is interested in the thieves. When the hackers want to operate undercover, they might use normal WLAN-boosters, what can get to the right points with remote-controlled helicopters, and if those booster-stations are properly set up and use batteries, can the hackers operate from the very long distances.
And that will help them to avoid the law. By using UAV-helicopters can the hidden hackers also activate their ECM-radio at the right time. After that, they can get in the open car and transfer it to the back of the truck, and flee away, with the stolen car in the container. After that, the car might sell in the dark markets for some toy of some gang members or people, who uses them illegal car races or even the escape vehicles for some criminal activities like robberies.
