Hackers massively block Chinese crossings of Russians Lixiang car owners lose access to master accounts: the screens and climate control of their cars are turned off, and some crossovers stop starting. Scammers demand a ransom to restore access. At least 20 victims are known, reports Autonews. ru. This is already the second wave of such attacks: the first time a mass theft of accounts was reported in the summer of 2025. According to expert Alexander Rassekzov, the attackers find owners using leaked insurance databases, and are now attacking the eSender service, which previously helped protect cars. The ransom dropped from 200-250 thousand to 35-45 thousand rubles. The expert recommends not paying the hackers, but contacting the police.
