Security researchers demonstrated a proof-of-concept attack showing how digital management keys could be extracted from lockers.
The researchers focused on various models of electronic locks from two of the world’s biggest manufacturers, Digilock and Schulte-Schlagbaum .
They say they reported the findings to both impacted companies, adding they had spoken to them about the findings.
Researchers say being able to extract a PIN or other information from a locker could lead to more damage than just having your bag and wallet stolen.
Using unique PINs can reduce all kinds of risks, researchers say.
RFID tokens could potentially be used elsewhere within an office building, on doors for instance, that would allow an advanced attack.
