Both have easy to defeat security just like the challenger/charger.

Security?

You break open the steering column and all it takes is any USB to start the car

Like, it's not some USB "hack" it works with a charging cable even. You just stick it in and turn it like a key.

They have zero security, it just took social media for the word to get out that a literal child has the skills to do this

so it's just a form factor hack, not an actual usb bus attack?

"Security". These pieces of shit don't even have steering immobilizers which have been standard for decades on other cars.

My partner has one and we have a club and peddle lock. So far it’s worked for us but it’s only a matter of time since we have the highest rate of auto thefts in the country where we live

a friend has the same and leaves their windows open so it's visible even in the rain. shit solution to a car maker that can't be fucking bothered.
