Victim: "It hasn't even been a month since I bought it. (Q. When did you see the condition inside the car?) I thought it was terrible. Why do you need to open it? , There must be something.」 　The car was stolen in a residential area in Midori Ward, Nagoya City. From the night of August 22nd to the dawn of August 23rd, as many as four cars were stolen one after another in an area with a radius of about one kilometer. The man's car was found in a nearby park, but all the cars targeted were the same model. Victim man: "It's a white Land Cruiser Prado car.

It is said that there is a clue of a new modus operandi here. Representative of Kids Garage: "This place is the most targeted, isn't it? It's a trick called 'CAN Invader', but it's relatively easy to connect from outside (the car) by disabling the genuine security and starting the engine. So far, the main method of car theft has been the so-called "relay attack", in which a special device is used to amplify the weak radio waves emitted by the smart key at home to unlock the vehicle. On the other hand, what seems to have been used this time is a new method called "CAN Invader". By hooking up a special device to the wires behind the bumper and breaking into the car's control system, it unlocks and starts the engine as well. Since the radio wave of the smart key is unnecessary, crime can be done regardless of the environment.

"CAN Invader" is becoming mainstream because it allows you to quickly bring out the target car. Are there any countermeasures? Representative of Kids Garage: "No matter what the genuine one is, once you analyze one car, all the rest are the same, so it's important to add security after all." Double or triple countermeasures are required, such as installing security devices that have not been analyzed.
