Electronic car lock hack revealed after 2-year injunction by Volkswagen

“In 2012, researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands discovered a security flaw in a common automotive security chip used in theft prevention by Volkswagen, Audi, Fiat, Honda, and Volvo vehicles. But after they disclosed their results to the auto manufacturers—a full nine months before they planned to publish them—the automakers sued to keep them quiet.  Today, that suppressed paper is finally being presented at the USENIX security conference in Washington, DC.  The list of impacted cars includes vehicles from Volkswagen’s Porsche, Audi, Bentley, and Lamborghini brands.”
