America’s National Insurance Crime Bureau has identified a transmitter that car thieves use to tune into modern cars with keyless fobs and push-button start. It’s called a Relay Attack unit – and the car industry itself uses it to test the network security of its vehicle.
Alastair Sloane has been a newspaper journalist for almost 50 years.
Has had all sorts of roles along the way, including editing two daily newspapers. Joined the NZ Herald from the Sunday Star-Times in 1996 to help launch a sports weekly. Became motoring editor of the Herald soon after, a position he held until leaving in 2012. He owns a 1968 VW Beetle. Best days at the wheel include doing part of the Land Rover Camel Trophy route in Papua New Guinea, driving a Nissan Patrol over earthquake-hit roads in Guatemala, and a Ferrari Italia 458 on Enzo’s old hill-climb road in Italy.
