In this episode, we explore the shift from traditional theft to a new era of digital car theft. Instead of smashing windows, today’s criminals launch automotive cyber-attacks that bypass immobilizers, unlock doors, and hijack control systems, all without leaving a trace.

From CAN bus vulnerabilities to cloned key fobs, cybercriminals are finding new attack vectors faster than manufacturers can plug the gaps. As a result, theft rates are soaring and entire automotive cyber security ecosystems—from fleets to insurers—are feeling the financial and operational pain.

We’ll discuss what’s being done to fight back, including the critical role of aftermarket AI-powered protection. Learn why OEMs are struggling, why the insurance market is shifting, and why AI-powered anti-theft protection solutions like vDome by PlaxidityX essential for any modern vehicle on the road today. This isn’t just car cyber-attack prevention—it’s a whole new era of proactive vehicle protection.
