I can say that Toyota Insurance in the UK takes it seriously, they installed an immobilizer (the key fob for which is branded with a Lexus L) for free on my 2020 Lexus RX to combat this issue. I'm probably going to buy a steering wheel lock, more to advertise that the car will be a pain to steal than for any additional protection.

I first heard of the CAN bus hacking late last year (in an owners forum) but it does seem to have become more wide spread this year.
