It gets worse. The group's software was also capable of extracting enough visual data to make a duplicate key from an image taken by a cell phone camera.



Snap a photo of someone's keys with a cell phone, duplicate 'em, get into his or her house.

This is sort of creepy.

I know nothing about keyless entry. I have one to get in the lobby of my apartment. But would not some computer hacker be able to get in just as easy as a lockpick or makinganewkeyfromadistantphotolikethatlink?

Not if you use enough encryption or other security functions.

It doesn't really matter when anyone can make a bump key.

I just bust windows open if I'm gonna get in some place.
I'm 3-1 for it though.

Freelancer that's pretty cool; I'd never heard of a bump key before.

Bump keys are Illegal to carry in most states.

Well .. Keys are not completely useless. They are plenty of locks that have good security.
It would be tough to make a bump key with dual pins like my key

Also my parents house has a sort of a combination kinda, it's not just a simple turn the key clockwise. There is more to it than that.

Nah I think ragna just happens to be an idiot, judging by his other posts.
