Media’s Blind Eye to Security

Written by jimmy

There is a fascinating article over at Private Internet Access (PIA) regarding a New York Post story.  The story describes a skeleton key that can open an untold number of vulnerable facilities.

The only problem is the NY Post published a full blown image of the key in question, which can now be used as a blue-print to print even more keys.

There is no word on the cost it will take to retool every lock after this story was published.

Editor Note: We decided to publish the image as our front page story introduction. The image is already widely available on the internet and even in higher resolution images; the Pandora’s box has already been open.
