Safes are everywhere in America, securing everything from cash and guns to narcotics and sensitive personal documents—in both homes and workplaces. But with no drills or cutting tools, security researchers James Rowley and Mark Omo have developed two separate techniques for cracking the Securam ProLogic L02, a digital lock used on 8 popular brands of high security electronic safes sold in the U.S. The kicker? The company that makes the lock has no plans to update its code, leaving safes across the country vulnerable.

You don’t need fancy crap to open that safe.
This is so hilarious. Why are two jewesh people discussing breaking into people’s safes? This is peak.
@10:49. Why did they edit this? He looks SO happy he almost can’t control it and stands up fast moving over the safe. Then it replays the other angle but he doesn’t react at all or get happy. hahhaahaha was that too telling about his personality?….
5:19 you can all buy that thig and , if you know it can de done , after that its just puzzle…
here is intresthing thing peppole huw has real value , order custom safe…..
Thank you now I’m ganna go safe raiding
You are either total uninformed (read: ignorant) or completely out of your mind to own a safe with an electronic lock.
Many safes with electronic locks can have a mechanical dial lock installed which are completely immune to any attack like those shown in this video.
If your safe has an electronic lock and a mechanical dial lock can not be installed on it, you bought the wrong safe.
yea safe right lol just find a spot in ur house or apt that not everyone would know. cuz either way if someone really wants w.e u have not much u can do unless u already have heavy security and stuff.
Skill saw is easier and faster
>liberty safe
>look inside
>chinese technology
sounds about right
time to go get 200 hydrocodone shoutout securam
1:25 They didn’t have a warrant. They just asked and received.
Yes, many people have been curated to believe the lie that went through proper channel.
The best way to protect yourself is not use Chinese locks. Duh!
“There is no good reason for a back door” Except probably millions of locks not having to be drilled out? I mean these safes are keeping 99.99% stuff safe and saving a ton of money on replacement locks, seems fine to me.. this is stupid journalism
Don’t buy liberty safes!
That there is an accessible port on the board that has no software-level encryption is insane – for a safe.
Every product gets dissected. It’s just ridiculous. Without that port on the board, none of this would be possible.
That’s engineering without basic human guidance.
Well if they created a weakness they can fixed it with a newer model. People just need to buy a newer product every time. Very good business strategy.
Things worth protecting should be protected by mechanical locks and men with guns.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 6 years ago or so my parents were at an Indian casino in California. They came back to their room in the safe that had an identical lock like that was open The police had no idea how it was done. Never got their money back. They were just robbed if you wanted to know what happened. I’ve seen on the lock picking lawyer and even easier away and he just used it a piece of metal. Never put your money in one of those .
This is exactly why the brand new safe i just bought has a noticeable clicking dial (to prevent hearing the tumblers) and a key.
If it has a circuit board and memory chips, it can be hacked. That goes for EVERYTHING.
So basically China can open most of our locks.
LEET
Why are you worried about china? Your own government is closer to the safe
@Quasimoudo Agree, but it’s also about supply chain security.
Reset codes been getting taking advantage off for years. Same thing locksmiths need to unlock a safe with lost code
Hey thats Deviant Ollams company huh! 😊
If you engineer an “easy way in” someone is gonna find it, it’s only a matter of how long
