    The lock isn't able to receive updates, which means the flaw allowing hackers to break in will always be present.

    One job. You had one job, "smart" lock.

        Bitch me please.... if that is a "smart" lock. They should have done their homework first... Codeproject - DIY electronic RFID Door Lock with Battery Backup[^]

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

            CNet said:

            Internet-of-things devices present a major risk

            Um, but the problem is that the lock is not IoT -- if it were, it could be updated.  Apples, not oranges; chalk, not cheese. Where the Hell does cnet get its "journalists" from?  Honest Al's school for Hacks?

            I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
