Can the ETC on a car be stolen or hacked?

[LoganLee]

The ETC installed in cars is generally not susceptible to theft or hacking because the ETC requires inserting a dedicated ETC card, which can only communicate with authorized devices, such as ETC equipment at highway entrances and exits. Handheld devices cannot conduct transactions, making the possibility of theft or hacking after loss almost nonexistent. ETC Card Binding: ETC card binding can be divided into two scenarios: one is binding a credit card, and the other is binding a debit card. How ETC Works: Through the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, dedicated short-range communication is established with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. This utilizes computer networking technology to perform backend settlement processing with banks, thereby achieving the purpose of allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees.
