CCTV exposure "with the key to the map," who will protect our home security?

HC Security Network News

In daily life, door locks and keys can effectively protect the safety of family property. The choice of advanced locks can effectively improve the safety factor of home security. However, CCTV’s recent news reports have made Xiaobian a cold sweat.

Key binding BUG

In the Internet, there was a news that “photographs can be keyed”, so CCTV reporters launched an investigation and found that those stores that can be keyed through pictures are selling well and “guaranteed to open”. Then the reporter was equipped with the ABC-class security door key and the door key respectively, and found that the corresponding door lock could be successfully opened.

One of the most intriguing is the C-class security door key and the door key, the most secure C-class security door key. After re-keying, the security door was successfully opened. The car door key can easily open the door and complete the remote control adaptation. For the car key, the seller in the network also declared that "a picture can be opened to support 98% of the models on the market."

Maybe a friend will say, "This kind of service is not very good." You know, taking a photo of the key can match the right key, that is, other people can also take photos of the key. If you accidentally lost the key, the other person was photographed in the process of returning immediately after returning? If someone sees a photo of you on the table, take a photo? If someone else sees you show off the car key in a circle of friends, then forward it to the online shop with the key?

These... are too alarmist, right?

Forecourt

There have been precedents for taking pictures by keying and then burglary.

One day in December 2016, Song of Beijing dropped a string of keys, including the key to the house, in the bathroom of the company's workshop. The lost key was taken away by his colleague Wang. Wang used a mobile phone to take pictures of the Song family's door key, and then used the newly assigned key to enter Song's home three times to carry out the theft. Understand Song’s living habits, and there are keys to open the door, and the entire process of theft is unusually smooth.

In the face of continuous theft in the home, Song installed a home surveillance camera, found Wang's theft, decisively choose the alarm. Finally, in August 2017, Beijing Fengtai Procuratorate filed a public prosecution against Wang for alleged theft.

Photo keying is a technology that can be done in the industry with a success rate of 99%. Through the photo keying, it is convenient for the user, and it also opens a convenient door for the criminals, which has great security risks. With the photo of a key, the key of the victim's home can be successfully re-enacted. Is there any legal restriction on the keying in the network?

At present, China has relevant restrictions on the unlocking industry. This kind of special industry needs to be registered in the public security department after the industrial and commercial registration, but there is no relevant requirement for the key distribution. Friends should consider more to avoid this risk from their own perspective. .

what should we do?

What if I don’t know, if the key in my life is being photographed by someone? Here, the helper is in place and everyone has a few tricks.

If the key is lost in life, please change the lock core immediately, whether it is retrieved or not. Maybe the key is forgotten on the door. Maybe the key is returned by a stranger, but the key is no longer safe. Insurance choice.

The root of the problem comes from the key, so you can solve this problem without a key. For the smart door lock industry, CCTV reports may be a good news. In recent years, smart door locks have become popular, and they can be opened by fingerprints, passwords, Bluetooth or NFC, and there is no key to go out without keys. The problem, and the quality improvement of smart door locks and the reliability of biometric technology in recent years are obvious to all. Why bother to open the door with the key?

In addition, Xiao Bian also suggested that friends install smart cameras at the door or indoors at home. Even if the thief enters the home, he can find illegal crimes at the first time and use technology to strengthen the family security line.

Conclusion

A photo is equivalent to opening the door of the house, and the high-level key will be easily copied. As the general public, Xiao Bian calls on relevant departments to strengthen supervision, regulate industry practices, and early-stage policies, and urge everyone to take care of themselves. Keys, don't take pictures at the circle of friends to show off the keys, not to give the bad guys a chance.
