Technology Evolves, But So Do Car Thieves

In today’s hyper-connected world, innovation has transformed nearly every part of our daily lives including how we start, lock, and interact with our cars. But while technology works to make things easier for drivers, it’s also providing new tools for those with far less honest intentions.

Gone are the days of smashed windows and hot-wired ignitions. 

Today, car thieves are armed not with crowbars, but with signal amplifiers and antenna relays. With the right equipment, they can intercept the wireless signal from your car’s key fob even if it’s inside your home and transmit it to a nearby device next to your vehicle. 

Within seconds, your car thinks its owner is standing nearby, and just like that, it’s unlocked and ready to drive away. It’s high-tech theft with a low profile and it’s on the rise!

How Krypto makes the difference

Recently, Krypto’s 24/7 central monitoring team intercepted a potential relay attack in real time. While the would-be thieves worked quietly outside, our proactive system detected unusual behavior and triggered immediate alerts. 

Intervention was swift. Theft? Prevented before it ever had the chance to succeed.

This isn’t a one-off success, it’s what we’re built for. Krypto operates around the clock to identify suspicious patterns and respond in the moment, not after the fact.

In addition to effectively detecting suspects moving around your perimeter and deterring them before they attempt to enter, the same AI-powered cameras often overlook your parked car—whether it’s outside the house or even in the garden. If someone loiters suspiciously around your vehicle, our system picks it up immediately and prevents the threat before any damage is done.

Of course, simple precautions like storing your key fob in a signal-blocking (RFID-shielded) wallet or metal container can help protect against signal relay attacks. But technology alone isn’t enough when criminals are watching and waiting. That’s why real-time, intelligent surveillance makes all the difference.

Technology shouldn’t make you vulnerable. 

With Krypto’s intelligent solutions and always-on monitoring, you gain more than just peace of mind—you gain a partner that’s always watching what matters most.

So while car thieves get smarter, Krypto gets faster.

Stay aware. Stay protected. Stay ahead with Krypto.

BE SAFE.
