BMW fixes security flaw that left more than 2 million cars unlocked

BMW has patched a bug in its ConnectedDrive system that left 2.2 million cars vulnerable to being hacked and unlocked.

The security flaw, as reported by Forbes, was found in the software used to operate door locks, air conditioning and traffic updates, meaning the vehicles were effectively left wide open to any hacker with a smartphone. Both Rolls Royce and Mini models were also affected.
