alt Hacker NewsExactly. Someone like the author isn't going to steal my car, so unless I'm targeted by a three letter agency it's not something worth worrying about.
I'd be more concerned about what the author only mentions in passing: They gained access to private customer information relatively easily. This has become such a huge problem in recent years. These sort of hacks and data mining is what the majority of cybercrime is based on these days, other crimes are downstream of it. Companies have too much of our personal information and they're not doing much to protect it.

I'm not so sure about that - I used to have some fancy cars in the past and I've heard many stories from people saying they've been followed to car parks, home, or had only the keys stolen from their home and nothing else - fancy high end cars are almost always stolen "on order" and not by opportunistic thieves. These are the kinds of people who will research what is needed to take your car before they come to your home.
