I was recently reading several online articles about how cars with passive entry/start systems (like some VF models) can potentially be hacked - i.e. unlocked and driven away without the keyfob.
These two 2015 articles discuss it in detail:
https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/keyless-entry-hacked
https://practicalmotoring.com.au/car-advice/why-your-keyless-car-is-vulnerable-to-attack/
And an overseas article from 2017:
https://www.tomsguide.com/us/keyless-entry-car-hack,news-25022.html
Yet this NRMA arcticle from 2016 is a bit more positive saying it’s not an issue in Australia:

So I was wondering are VF’s with passive entry/start safe?
