LockPickingLawyer, a recreational lock picker, was sent a fingerprint padlock for review. He emailed the manufacture to let them know that he’d discovered a security vulnerability: “Upon examining the lock, I found that if you remove the three screws, the lock falls apart. The shackle can be opened and relocked without the owner’s fingerprint or knowledge.”
The manufacturer replied: “the lock is invincible to the people who do not have a screwdriver.”
Thank goodness a set of torx drivers costs $(removed), or this might be a concern for anyone using this lock.
The company that sent me the pictured fingerprint lock has provided the security quote of the year: “…the lock is invincible to the people who do not have a screwdriver.” pic.twitter.com/dmpYHAmMiY
