Car thieves looking to smartphones

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 18 April 2013 | 23.44

CAR thieves in the near future may need nothing more than a smartphone to steal a vehicle, a security expert says.

Chris Vargyas, from British police security initiative Secured by Design, says car thieves are increasingly using sophisticated electronic tools.

"With the rapid advancements in telematics and infotainment systems, drivers can already use their smartphones to control some vehicles' systems," Mr Vargyas said.

"This opens up the possibility of offenders using such systems to steal vehicles or possibly using a virus or some type of malware to disable a vehicle's security."

Mr Vargyas will detail his concerns at a seminar on vehicle theft awareness in Adelaide on Friday hosted by South Australia's Vehicle Theft Reduction Committee.

He said highly organised criminal networks were now involved in stealing cars in Europe.

"Spanning international borders, it's a trend that could soon be seen in Australia too - that's if it's not already here," Mr Vargyas said.
