The interesting thing is that the risk isn’t always obvious when you use your car every day. My brother once parked his vehicle outside overnight and later started reading about relay attacks after hearing about a similar incident in his neighbourhood. He hadn’t given much thought to how his keyless entry system communicated with the car. While researching the subject, he came across information about a keyless repeater and how relay equipment relates to modern vehicle access systems. That made him pay more attention to basic precautions. He now keeps his keys away from exterior doors and windows and uses a signal-blocking pouch when he’s at home. Small habits can make everyday parking feel a lot more secure
