Once done, some Chinese outfit will be selling the equipment for
cheepcheep, then it becomes another running battle. Just like all the
other cracks, hacks, cloners, and whatever else to circumvent or get
into various systems -- the electronic keys are big now, garage door
openers, whatever.
I recall some years ago getting a cell phone bill (my work phone) for
nearly $2k, calls all over the world, most to Mexico, from all over the
US. I call the cell phone co, whoever it was, and ask WTF. They look
into it, determine my (analog at the time) phone had been cloned and
someone made clones and were probably selling time to make calls. Found
out a few others at the company had the same thing done, turns out
someone was probably sitting at a traffic light not far from the office,
sniffing phones while people sat in the traffic making calls or pinging
the towers or whatever. Equipment was fairly cheap even then (though
probably not from China at that time). Now the cops have these devices
that can spoof phones, acting like a cell node, and collect all kinds of
stuff from them. I guess if you have a coupla $k you could buy one too.

I still don't see how car hacking can make money on any kind of
scale,
but if it's easy then people will just do it for fun. :(
It could be used by Mafia hit men ...
