Maybe you should read the article?

If you did, you'd probably be able to see the author has no idea what's going on.

Like, the international crime ring that you're talking about that gets cars halfway around the globe in a few weeks?

That happens, but it's not why so many Kias and Hyundai are being stolen thousands of miles from a coast

I did read the article. I'm unfamiliar with the "hacking" tools or methods they mention given they use terms like emulator. I was simply sharing one wireless attack that is common in certain areas and why.
