Why you might want to wrap your car fob in foil

Just go ahead and wrap the car, the house, and wear a foil hat. This article is silly. The signal cannot be intercepted when the fob is in your house. You have to be withing 10-15 feet of the fob. It really is an issue for the keyless systems that unlock your car door while you approach your car.

"Cybersecurity experts say privately that anyone who knows anything about the ease of auto and personal data hacking practices safe fob storage."

I question the actual validity of this statement.

It’s important to always practice safe fob storage. Keeps the guanaria away.

My fob doesn't emit the signal it used to so probably don't need to wrap it anymore.

I don't have a proximity fob, so I'm not worried.

No worries here. My jalopy doesn’t have a fob. Still put key in lock the old fashioned way.

I don't have a fob at all so I am definitely not worried.
