Hotel Guests at Risk of Hacked Locks
The Hyatt House Galleria in Houston had a series of break-ins in September due to a flaw in the electronic door locks that made them easy to hack. PCWorld writes that a similar hack was performed at the Black Hat Security event earlier this year by a Mozilla software developer who demonstrated how easily a Onity hotel room lock could be hacked by using a cheap and easy-to-make device. The hacking device was able to open the lock because it could read the lock’s memory to procure the key information.
