Look What I Got My Sweetie for Valentine’s: A $100 Car Remote Jammer – Now She Can Break Into Cars Easily!

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

The KTVU is all over This New Issue of Concern:

SPECIAL REPORT: Hackers* Turn Car Thieves With Keyless Locks

So, what a $100 handheld 315 Mhz Wireless Remote Key / Security Jammer / Code Scanner can do for you, at the very least, is allow you to prevent some loser’s car from locking up for the night, dig? Then, after watching the pigeon walk away, you can simply open the car doors and trunk and then collect all the sweet sweet booty inside.

Jamming seems a lot simpler than code scanning, non?

Anyway, this is what KTVU is ascared of showing you. From China With Love:

My funny Valentine is delighted – she’s gotten two Kate Spades and $5000 worth of travelers’ checks so far since Feb 14th. Really, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Hurray!

But please remember, “this product is a supplementary tool to unlock, and can only be taken as friends locksmith studies.” So, don’t actually steal anything using this device that’s made exclusively for stealing things.

*Wouldn’t really call somebody who uses a simple jamming device a “hacker,” but that’s just me.

The San Francisco Bomb Squad is Having a Busy 2009

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

The San Francisco Bomb Squad seems to be having a busy 2009 already, non? Yesterday evening, another incident backed up traffic quite a bit in the area around Kezar Stadium, with a parade of blocked vehicles reaching all the way to the interesting intersection of Fell and Masonic.

SFWeekly Snitch Matthew Smith has some info about the large blast that resulted.  

When the bomb squad doesn’t send in the robot, they have the option to use this guy. It takes quite a while to get this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle outfit on. Click to expand:  

Have a safe 2009.

[UPDATE: Apparently, the suspicious object wasn't that suspicious at all.]
