Top-selling handgun safe can be remotely opened in seconds—no PIN needed
Found on Ars Technica on Saturday, 09 December 2017
The Vaultek VT20i handgun safe, ranked fourth in Amazon's gun safes and cabinets category, allows owners to electronically open the door using a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone app.
The feat required no knowledge of the unlock PIN or any advanced scanning of the vulnerable safe. The hack works reliably even when the PIN is changed. All that's required to make it work is that the safe have Bluetooth connectivity turned on.
Why would anybody with a single braincell build a bluetoothed safe? Is this all the world as come to: "App! App! App!"?
