Hyundai and Kia Vehicles Now Being Targeted By Game Boy Hackers

Hyundai and Kia are no strangers to theft problems. In 2022 and 2023, the brands made news after the Kia Boys ran amok using low-tech methods to steal base model cars, like using a USB charger to turn the ignition cylinder. Attacks have gotten more sophisticated since then, and now thieves with deeper pockets and higher ambitions have begun seeking out Hyundai EVs as a target.

 

Their tool? A hacking apparatus disguised to look like a Nintendo Game Boy.
