(Photo by Andrew Matthews/PA Images via Getty Images) A security flaw recently uncovered by security researchers may allow hackers to remotely unlock and start several Honda vehicles made in the past decade.The attack, dubbed "Rolling Pwn," involves a vulnerability in the keyless entry system of many Honda vehicles made between 2012 and 2022.

A pair of Star-V Lab security researchers claim to have first discovered the bug, posting several videos of themselves unlocking and remotely starting various Honda vehicles in a recent report.Rob Stumpf, an automotive journalist at The Drive, later independently tried the Honda key fob hack on his own car — a 2021 Honda Accord — and succeeded in unlocking and starting it.Honda confirmed the researchers’ claims of the vulnerability in a statement to FOX Television Stations, saying it’s possible to gain access to certain vehicles produced by the automaker with "sophisticated tools and technical know-how."Modern vehicles are often equipped with a keyless entry system, which allows the car to be unlocked and started remotely.

When a person presses the unlock button on a paired key fob, the fob sends a unique code wirelessly to the vehicle, according to The Drive.Older vehicles used fixed codes for the keyless entry into the vehicle.

But since any individual can access and replay a static code to lock and unlock the car, this kind of mechanism is "inherently vulnerable," the automotive news website reports.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) officially start car recalls after receiving complaints from consumers.And so, vehicle manufacturers later introduced a "rolling code".

Justice Department files motion to unseal Mar-a-Lago search warrant
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Merrick Garland has spoken publicly from Washington this afternoon three days after agents searched former president Donald Trump’s Florida estate.Garland also said that he personally approved the search warrant, which was part of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida earlier this year.It was not immediately clear if and when the unsealing request, filed in federal court in Miami, might be granted or when the documents could be released.Now, the Justice Department has asked a court to unseal the search warrant the FBI received before searching the Florida estate of former President Donald Trump, Garland said Thursday.Before Garland's remarks, there had been no high-level comment from the Justice Department since federal agents spent most of the day Monday at Trump’s winter home, reportedly retrieving documents and even opening a safe.The FBI search was part of an investigation into whether the former president took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence. While Republicans have rallied behind Trump, very few facts about the case have been released publicly. RELATED: FBI's search of Trump's Florida estate: Why now?Trump's attorneys have so far declined to release details from the search warrant, and the former president – who was in New York at the time of the search – has suggested on social media that agents could have been planting evidence at his home.Mar-a-Lago, seen from the air.
