FFS! Why is it that people buy hotel #safes in bulk just to keep the factory default master code. Tested with all the safes I was able to access and which were not in use by anyone. Every. Bloody. Time. #security - we haz it.

“Serious security breach hits EU police agency: Disappearance of sensitive files of top law enforcement officials has sparked a crisis at Europol” “[the files] were supposed to be under lock and key, in a secure storage room deep inside Europol's headquarters in The Hague” https://www.politico.eu/article/europol-internal-agency-eu-police-agency-engulfed-in-clean-up-over-missing-files/
