Computer security researchers are warning that the electronic locks on millions of hotel rooms around the world are susceptible to hacking. Using a vulnerability in the software, researchers were able to create master keys to fit all the doors of a building.
The Swedish manufacturer Assa Abloy, a specialist in the field of door locks, has since published software updates to solve the weakness identified in its “Vision Software” lock.
