Teensy 3 on front page of Gizmodo and Wired
Looks like someone has configured a Teensy 3 to act as a radio interference device to scam valid wireless key codes from a wide range of vehicles. The method is semi-clever.

And after that piece of breathless journalism, here is the original article at wired that it links to. The wired article is a bit better written.

The takeaway? Hopefully car manufacturers will follow in the boot steps of Cadillac and time out older key codes. With any luck, this attack can be foiled with a simple firmware upgrade to the car. Seems doubtful however, as long as the newer Cadillac system isn't used inside the car and the key fob.
