Updated on September 5, 2017 If you have a car that runs on petrol, chances are your vehicle runs with a mix of unleaded and leaded petrol. A new scam has been going around where people use their smartphone to scan a car's fuel cap and then remotely direct the engine to run on unleaded fuel. Renault were the first affected with an estimated 6000 cars, but now they’ve had success in shutting down this scam. Renault has been busy taking down these scams, using a process called ‘adverse spoofing’. This is when a rogue app directs the fuel system to run on unleaded, at the expense of the engine health and performance. The Director of Renault’s Security Communications Unit, Sylvain Jinot said: "This is a new type of attack that we have not seen before in our industry." In this latest sniffer attack scams, apps have been used to scan the fuel cap and use information from these scans to direct the engine to run on unleaded instead of petrol. Once the engine is running on unleaded, there are both financial and health implications for the fuel system. Renault has become aware of about 6,000 cases of this scam in Europe, where customers who have purchased a new Renault vehicle have received a message via WhatsApp or social media telling them that their new car runs on unleaded fuel. The customers are then asked to scan the QR code on their fuel cap to receive more information about how they can switch to an Unleaded tank for only "a little less than €100". After scanning the QR code, they are redirected to a fraudulent site where they are asked to make payment. Jinous explained, "This is a rather new trick in the scammer’s arsenal. These are technically known as ‘adverse spoofing’ attacks, in which the attacker prompts the system to misread a QR code." This means that car owners who have been informed about this scam via social media should ignore any messages related to switching the fuel type. Jinot also added that people who already have been scammed should contact their local dealership or Renault HQ as soon as possible for advice. Renault have started a massive campaign against these methods and have worked with their dealerships and police to try and try and track down people who are behind this latest scam. They have received over 2,000 reports of this scam in France alone, however it is unknown how many people have been scammed already. It’s still unclear how the attackers are making the car run on unleaded fuel when petrol is present in the car. The worst part is that once gas has been depleted, there are both financial and health implications for the fuel system. Renault has issued an alert on their website, stating that "unauthorized persons are trying to sell an unauthorized product". This attack takes place when a mobile application uses information from a QR code to be able to access sensitive information about your vehicle and then sell it. carminat tomtom live renault crack cfa1e77820
