Comment on Bitlock replaces your bike key with your phone

Comments

I'm wondering if successful attacks on this lock (should it get popular enough to warrant it) will lead to successful attacks on similar technology on homes.

There is an impressive amount of innovation when it comes to stealing bikes as they are low-risk, decent-value targets compared to cars or houses. In the past, attacks that originated with or were popularized on bike locks have paved the way for attacks on other locks that protected cars & electronics.
