"Hackers Found a Way to Open Any of 3 Million Hotel Keycard Locks in Seconds"

Ian Carroll, Lennert Wouters, and other security researchers have revealed a hotel keycard hacking technique dubbed "Unsaflok." The method involves a set of security flaws that would enable a hacker to almost instantly open several models of Saflok-brand RFID-based keycard locks sold by Dormakaba. The Saflok systems are installed on 3 million doors worldwide in 13,000 properties across 131 countries. Carroll and Wouters demonstrated how easy it is to open a Saflok keycard lock by exploiting flaws in both Dormakaba's encryption and the underlying RFID system, known as MIFARE Classic. This article continues to discuss the researchers' lock hacking technique.
