Could be the Flipper Zero that Canada just banned, due to it’s use in car thefts.

The flipper zero can’t get around rolling codes, unless it’s a very specific situation. Car thiefs aren’t using them.
The OP’s quote leaves out the “It is being targeted at Hyundai and Kia models.” part. From what I can find those brands are (were?) susceptible to rollback where sending an old code reactivates codes that came after it

I think you would still have to wait for the owner to use their keys.
It couldn’t be, and they haven’t been used in thefts. They’ve just been used to make viral TikTok videos staging thefts. Politicians can’t tell the difference.
