KARR Alarm Flaw Exposes Millions | Tech News

Over 2 million U.S. cars may be vulnerable to a major security flaw in aftermarket KARR Security Systems — anyone with Bluetooth nearby can unlock your car, disable the alarm, or even kill the engine. Installed by dealers to deter theft, these systems often remain active even after you buy the car, leaving drivers unaware of the risk. Researchers from UC San Diego warn this is the worst car hacking threat ever: it affects millions, can’t be patched by manufacturers, and requires owners to act. Check for “KARR” or “SWDS” stickers or a blinking light under the dashboard — if you’ve got it, update the code now or risk becoming an easy target.
