Hackers can now gain instant, untraceable access to millions of key card-protected hotel rooms. This hack was demonstrated at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas recently. Apparently, there is no easy fix. If the hotels want to secure their guests, every single lock will have to be changed.
If you are traveling this year, do not leaving anything valuable in your hotel room. If the room has a safe, use it. If not, take your items with you, such as hard drives, thumb drives, computers, tablets, smart phones and iPods. Also, according to the Wall Street Journal, 40% of all major city robberies now involve Apple products.
