    Hackers can unlock over 3 million hotel doors in seconds
    Saflok has a fix for the vulnerability, but patching may take a long time.

    Minimum wage cleaners can get into my hotel room, I've never assumed it
    has any security at all.

    Exactly! Anything of real value? Bring it with you when you go out for the
    day. In the evening, it maybe is a little bit more "secure", because the
    staff usually work during days, not nights.

    Come to think about, is there maybe a lock you can buy and put on the
    inside and activate/deactivate from outside the door?
