New York forces smart lock maker to improve its security

By Rob LeFebvre

The New York Attorney General's office settled with Safetech to provide better security for its smart locks. Smart locks promise the security of a traditional lock without the need to carry around a key.

Most can be unlocked with a mobile app or an RFID-equipped card you can store in your wallet. Unfortunately, they're also pretty easy to hack open. The office of New York's attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, announced a settlement  with one such smart lock manufacturer.

Lockdecoders is on the road again.

On Saturday 24th June Lockdecoders are holding a roadshow event in Newcastle. This is a great opportunity to talk directly to the Lockdecoders experts, see our products and network with us and other customers.
