Securam ProLogic L02 digital lock

[ATCclears]

Safes are everywhere in America, securing everything from cash and guns to narcotics and sensitive personal documents — in both homes and workplaces. But with no drills or cutting tools, security researchers James Rowley and Mark Omo have developed two separate techniques for cracking the Securam ProLogic L02, a digital lock used on 8 popular brands of high security electronic safes sold in the U.S. The kicker? The company that makes the lock has no plans to update its code, leaving safes across the country vulnerable.

I do not own this lock. It seems for some owners of the locks one can change the Encryption Code, but people may not have been given guidance to do this.

A good friend of mine passed away almost exactly 2 years ago. He had apparently changed the combo to his safe, I think because he feared a spurned girlfriend had discovered the combo. Just a guess on my part. Anyway, the combo he'd given to his boys didn't work. Not expecting to die in a tragic car accident, he hadn't shared it with them.
They hired a guy to come and open it for them. They weren't allowed to witness the process but he emerged from the shop in 8 minutes. He may have "cracked" the safe in less time and just waited to make it seem like it was more difficult.
I'm only guessing it was a SECURAM lock, but mine is.

Yep, it is getting harder and harder to find truly secure systems. There is far too much pressure to build in back doors to basically everything. This is why I try to run physical, analog hardware as much as possible in my life. The digital stuff is just too vulnerable.
