Finnish cybersecurity firm F-Secure has revealed it found a flaw in the digital lock system that may be used in millions of hotel rooms worldwide. It managed to spoof hotel master keys that would be able to unlock any door. After “several thousand hours of work”, F-Secure researchers created a master key that could be used to gain entry to any room in hotels using VingCard digital lock technology. The firm says the master key – which specifically worked on the Assa Abloy Vision system – could be generated from any ordinary electric keycard, even ones long expired or discarded.
