NBC News aired a report today concerning a significant new
security flaw in the electronic hotel room key systems that criminals are now
using to break into hotel rooms in a matter of seconds. Knowing that most INWsoccernews viewers are
often on the road, I felt that it was important to share this story so that
teams, players and their property are safe when traveling to tournaments around
the region. Before you go to the NBC News report linked below, here are the two
most important things to remember when staying at a hotel.
1 – Always utilize the chain / bar lock when inside the
room, especially since this security flaw overrides the door handle deadbolt
locks. Make sure you particularly share this information with minors that may not
be staying with an adult in their room.
2 – When not in the room, you should make sure to put
valuable items in the room safe or take them with you. This is especially
important for electronics, which often carry personal information, etc.
