Kia boyz tiktok challenge sparks vehicle thefts with usb cable

I'm not aware of any specific TikTok challenge called the "Kia Boyz TikTok challenge" that involves vehicle thefts using a USB cable. It's possible that you may have come across a misleading or satirical article or social media post.

However, I can tell you that there have been instances of car thefts and thefts of Kia vehicles in particular, which have been linked to a social media challenge. In 2021, there was a surge in car thefts in the United States, particularly of Kia and Hyundai vehicles, which were being stolen using a USB cable and a laptop. The thieves would use the USB cable to connect the car's computer to a laptop, which would allow them to unlock the car and start the engine.

The FBI and local law enforcement agencies investigated these thefts and found that they were often linked to organized criminal groups. The thieves would use social media to advertise their services and attract customers.

It's important to note that these thefts were not directly related to a specific TikTok challenge, but rather a broader issue of car theft and organized crime. It's also important to take steps to protect your vehicle from theft, such as keeping valuables out of sight, parking in well-lit areas, and using anti-theft devices.

If you have any specific concerns or questions about car theft or safety, I'd be happy to help.
