Law enforcement authorities in France, in collaboration with Spain and Latvia, have disrupted a cybercrime ring that leveraged a hacking tool to steal cars without having to use a physical key fob.
“The criminals targeted vehicles with keyless entry and start systems, exploiting the technology to get into the car and drive away,” Europol said in a press statement.
The coordinated operation, which took place on October 10, 2022, resulted in the arrest of 31 suspects from across 22 locations in the three nations, including software developers, its resellers, and the car thieves who used the tool to break into vehicles.
Also confiscated by the officials as part of the arrests were criminal assets worth €1,098,500, not to mention an internet domain that allegedly advertised the service online.
Per Europol, the criminals are said to have singled out keyless vehicles from two unnamed French car manufacturers. The perpetrators then used the fraudulent package to replace the original software by marketing it as an “automotive diagnostic solution.”
Once installed, the tool made it possible to open the car doors and start the ignition sans the key fob. The agency did not reveal more specifics on how the attacks were carried out.
Eurojust, in an independent press release, noted that the organized crime group “used fraudulent software to steal vehicles by duplicating the vehicles’ ignition keys,” adding “more than €100 million, as well as 12 bank accounts, real estate, and 3 luxury cars were seized in France.”
Europol further stated the investigation was initiated by the French Gendarmerie’s Cybercrime Centre (C3N), with the E.U.-wide law enforcement agency assisting the case since March 2022.
如下机翻
法国执法部门与西班牙和拉脱维亚合作，捣毁了一个利用黑客工具偷窃汽车的网络犯罪团伙，该团伙无需使用实体钥匙链。
欧洲刑警组织在一份新闻声明中说:“犯罪分子瞄准了无钥匙进入和启动系统的车辆，利用技术进入汽车并开车离开。”
此次协同行动于2022年10月10日展开，逮捕了来自这三个国家22个地点的31名嫌疑人，包括软件开发人员、其经销商和使用该工具闯入车辆的偷车贼。
作为逮捕行动的一部分，官员们还没收了价值109.85万欧元的刑事资产，更不用说一个据称在网上宣传该服务的互联网域名了。
据欧洲刑警组织称，犯罪分子专门挑选了两家未透露姓名的法国汽车制造商的无钥匙汽车。随后，犯罪分子利用欺诈软件包，将其作为“汽车诊断解决方案”进行营销，以取代原来的软件。
一旦安装，该工具就可以打开车门并启动点火，而无需钥匙链。该机构没有透露袭击是如何实施的更多细节。
Eurojust在一份独立的新闻稿中指出，这个有组织的犯罪集团“使用欺诈软件，通过复制车辆的点火钥匙来偷窃车辆”，并补充说，“超过1亿欧元、12个银行账户、房地产和3辆豪华汽车在法国被查获。”
欧洲刑警组织进一步表示，调查是由法国宪兵的网络犯罪中心(C3N)发起的，欧盟范围内的执法机构自2022年3月以来协助该案。
