Can someone confirm the earliest date Lexus were aware of the headlamp CAN bus vulnerability please?

We have CCTV footage and police are investigating but I don't hold much hope for a recovery. I think these cars are being shipped straight out of the country, if not stripped for parts. Lexus just need to develop their CAN bus tech, etc. to make the vehicles more secure

I've just had my beautiful RX 450h taken in the early hours from outside my home in North London. Incredibly easy for them to do via this hack and, of course, car was due to be patched by Lexus in the coming weeks. I'm really very upset with this manufacturer for not stepping in fast enough to secure the car. An unencrypted bus just sitting behind a few bits of plastic does not team with the level of sophistication found elsewhere in the technology on these cars. This was my only new car, fully spec'd and really well looked after for 4.5 years so I doubt I'll get the same level of car spec again with the insurance money. Anyone with a similar RX model who has not fitted a secondary immobiliser should do so now!
