Researchers have discovered a significant security flaw in Kia's web portal that allowed them to track millions of cars, unlock doors, honk the horn, and start engines remotely. This vulnerability, which could be exploited by simply reading a car's license plate, affected nearly all Kia vehicles manufactured after 2013. Hackers demonstrated the exploit in a video. The issue has reportedly been fixed by Kia.
