11-year-old Proves Locks Not So Secure

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the from-the-hands-of-babes dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new security column at Engadget details the new 'old' threat of bumping locks. The article goes on to describe and demonstrate an 11-year-old girl bypassing a standard 5-pin lock at a recent DefCon Hacker Convention. The girl had no prior experience and didn't even understand the theory she was applying. Scary!"

    Last time I checked, it was illegal to test on 11 year old girls.

    In all states, but Kentucky and Georgia.
