Where, I ask you, would we be without these fellows and their inquisitive minds, redolent with the pure warm milk of human kindness?

In a post titled ‘James Bond’s Dry Erase Marker,’ hotel hacker Matthew Jakubowski [demonstrated] how anyone can build this pocket-sized device which will open the lock on an estimated 4 million hotel rooms.

‘I guess we wanted to show that this sort of attack can happen with a very small concealable device,’ says Jakubowski …

The device exploits a vulnerability in Onity locks, a cheap lock used on millions of hotel room doors.

Onity’s site boasts their locks are used in 22,000 hotel worldwide.

He guesses “we wanted to show,” did he? Was he not sure? Or did “they” just kinda accidentally coincidentally develop a jimmy to get into hotel rooms?

Boy, who knows what you could do in the service of mankind with a box of these and a crew on the evening of the BCS National Championship Game in Miami this bowl season!
