The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, a high-performance vehicle, has been identified as the most stolen car in the U.S., with theft rates 39 times higher than the average. The vulnerability lies in the on-board ports, which thieves exploit to gain unauthorized access. This issue affects model years 2022-2024, leading to significant financial losses and reputational damage for General Motors. The company has released a software update to mitigate the vulnerability, but the incident highlights a critical security flaw in their vehicle design.
