You Really Wanna Be Safe? Don't Leave Your Room. Ever
-
You might have heard a story this weekend about a hotel in Austria which got hit with a ransomware demand that shut down its computers and, as part of that, its room door lock system. Well, it's not quite as bad as some stories suggested -- guests COULD get in and out of their rooms, it just held up issuing new keycards, and the people checking in were served champagne for their wait. But it does make you wonder whether, for security, analog is safer than digital -- hackers can't remotely screw with a manual lock and key, can they? Of course, a good lock picker can break in either way.... (AP via Toronto Star)
