"The company that sent me the pictured fingerprint lock has provided the security quote of the year: “...the lock is invincible to the people who do not have a screwdriver.”"

@noelle Well, they're not wrong....

Oh wait, bolt cutters.

@Rosemary @noelle UNless fingerprint recognition has gotten better in the last few years then the fingerprint scanner itself can be pretty easily circumvented by like, licking your finger or something first apparently??

@Nine @noelle I'll be surprised if you can't do something to it through that usb port on the bottom, too. Try shoving twelve volts into it or something, I bet _something_ will happen to it. Less destructively, you can probably hack it through some vulnerability in its firmware.

@Rosemary @noelle this too. Though thinking that star head screws would suffice as a mechanical security measure is... pretty poor show from the company in the first instance too. But also the bolt cutters thing, even more so. Seriously why would anybody think a finger print scanner padlock is any more secure than a regular one??

@Rosemary @noelle ...oh god what if the battery runs out.

@Nine @noelle Even they can't have been that stupid; I'm sure the resting position of the solenoid is the locked position.

Someone should send one of those locks to bigclive to see how horribly designed they are, though...
