A duo of computer experts at the University of Birmingham, Flavio Garcia and David Oswald, have uncovered two flaws in VW's keyless entry systems that could allow hackers to remotely unlock over 100 million cars sold by the firm since 1995.
The first vulnerability gives hackers the ability to remotely break into nearly every car VW has sold since 2000, while the second impacts "millions" more vehicles including models from Ford, Peugeot and Citroen.

The more I hear about these things the more grateful I am I still have my '78 station wagon, may not get the best mpg but the only thing I really have to worry about electrically is the occasional burned out light bulb and an EMP taking out the ignition system.
