Former Chicago Cubs star Kris Bryant recently became the victim of a high-tech heist when his prized Lamborghini Huracán was stolen by hackers. The incident unfolded when Bryant’s luxury sports car, which was parked at his residence, was remotely accessed and driven off by cybercriminals who exploited vulnerabilities in the car’s keyless entry system.
According to sources close to the investigation, the hackers used sophisticated tools to bypass the car’s security features, gaining control of the vehicle without physically breaking into it. Authorities are now working with both the car manufacturer and cybersecurity experts to trace the criminals responsible for the theft.
“I’ve had this car for a while, and it’s a real shame to see something like this happen,” Bryant commented. “It’s a wake-up call about how much technology is involved in our daily lives. I’m just grateful no one was hurt.”
The theft has raised concerns about the security of modern high-end vehicles, many of which rely on digital systems and remote access for features like locking, starting, and even tracking. Experts say that as cars become more connected, they also become more vulnerable to hacking.
Bryant’s Lamborghini, which is valued at over $200,000, was last tracked to an undisclosed location, but authorities remain optimistic about recovering the vehicle. In the meantime, Bryant has vowed to raise awareness about the potential dangers of cyber-related car thefts, urging others to take precautions to safeguard their own vehicles.
As the investigation continues, Bryant is cooperating fully with law enforcement and hopes that his experience will prompt automakers to strengthen the security of their keyless entry systems.
