Kensington security locks vulnerable?


Kensington security locks vulnerable? 08/09/2004 05:56 AM
According to Slashdot and Security.org, Kensington Locks are extremely vulnerable to very simple attack. With the most basic of tools costing less than $1, it's possible to unlock the device that offers 'security' to many thousands, if not millions, of laptop users worldwide.

Security.org report that using a bic pen and a pair of scissors, the protection from theft can be over come within 30 seconds. More worryingly, the procedure does not leave any damage to the cable / lock. As such, you would not be able to claim the $1500 that Kensington offer if a product is stolen whilst protected with one of its locks, due to the specifics of the guarantee.

So far, Kensington have not commented on the issue. One would suggest that you keep, as ever, a rather good eye on your laptop and any other products protected by their kit.

  • MacCentral: Mac users still not safe from vulnerability. "What is really critical is the fact that Apple did not address the "disk" URI vulnerability, which allows malicious websites to silently place code on a user's system," said Rasmussen. "Everything should be OK, after the "help" vulnerability has been fixed, but another very unfortunate feature has been revealed in Mac OS X disk image and volume handling, allowing a disk image to register a new URI handler and associate an application with this - obviously this application can be located on the disk image or volume."
