How Secured Are Your Locks?
Last week, when I was in Houston, the meeting started with a security briefing. That was the first time I heard about this Bump Key security issue.
Do you know that it takes very little training for literally anyone to pick any locks? Millions of locks on houses and even padlocks can be opened within a second if you know the trick! And the trick has been told and has been sold all over in the internet for quite a while already! And, da-da-da-da! The Bump Key is the trick.
It is very surprising to find out that the Bump Key can open up to 95% of locks in the market. It actually looks very simple, just like any keys with shorter ‘teeth’. It only takes a few minutes to learn and master the skill. To pick a lock with the bump key only takes less than a second –> just insert the key, bump it, turn the key, and the lock is opened! Even a young kid can do that without any help!
Hey, imagine, this tool is sold in the internet and many have already own it! I really feel very unsafe now, not knowing how many are out there in Malaysia.
To counter this, our company’s security manager told us that it is very simple –> buy expensive locks. Usually those expensive ones are Bump Proof Lock, and I hope he is right!
If you are not convinced on how easily it works, check out the video below.
