BMW Cars Vulnerable To Blank Key Attack 291
Techmeology writes "Thieves have discovered how to steal BMW cars produced since 2006 by using the onboard computer that is able to program blank keys. The device used — originally intended for use by garages — is able to reprogram the key to start the engine in around three minutes. The blank keys, and reprogramming devices, have made their way onto the black market and are available for purchase over the Internet."
And the question is (Score:3, Funny)
Amazingly, the blank keys and the device are both available to buy at a bit of a price on the internet.
And the question is: how many BitCoins does those cost?
Pricey cars! (Score:5, Funny)
They cost between 17,000 and more than 100,000 thousand pounds.
£100,000,000 is too much for any car, let alone one that allows anyone to steal it.

BMW driver here. Absolutely correct. I always drive in the middle of the road and I also yell "ka-ching" and "score" when I:
Knock over bicyclists
Clip old ladies
Back up over children
Pass (usually on the right) morons in Priuses, Smart Cars and other econo-boxes like Hondas and Rustangs.
Cut off mom-mobiles where the housewives are talking on the cell phone to their mom.
My driver's seat is usually (partially) filled with a small asian chick with big tits and bigger sunglasses. It is a misnomer that I talk on cell phones while I pass you. In reality, I don't talk on the cell phone because my trophy passenger takes my calls for me.
However, I wouldn't be caught dead on spandex or on a bike. That's who we run over, man. Why would would a predator become prey?
Remember, the difference between a porcupine and a BMW is that with a BMW, the pricks are on the inside. Drive safe! Stay out of my way.

Just imagine if a locomotive boiler explodes and kill someone. Steam trains are bad. We should use horses.
Just imagine if a house falls down and people get crushed. Houses are bad. We should live in caves.
Just imagine if your laptop explodes and you die. Laptops are bad, we should use abacuses.

So what are the other 18 things that deserve to be done to them?
Actually if you are determining how do beat someone up via 20 sided die roll... you probably are a geek. A geek with a lot of issues.
