Thieves can steal a car in minutes by hacking it through its headlights with devices sold online, experts warn

• Emergency start devices sold online starting at $1,600 can hack into a car through its wire network. 
• The easiest access to car wires is through the headlights, car security experts say. 
• Over 1 million vehicles were stolen in the US in 2022, marking a 7% increase over 2021.

If you find someone has been tinkering with the headlights of your car, in what seems to be a pointless, if annoying, act of vandalism, be alarmed. Someone might be trying to steal it.
