During the 24th edition of the DEF CON hacking conference held this summer in Las Vegas, several Bluetooth locks have been tested by a team of engineers and the results are inconclusive: out of sixteen Bluetooth enabled devices, twelve do not offer the expected security.
Some devices stored passwords in plain text. Anyone with a Bluetooth sniffer could gain access. Other locks were vulnerable to replay attacks, which means the researchers grabbed data over the air when a legitimate user unlocked the lock, and they then just replayed that data to gain access. Some of the other attacks were a bit more intricate, although still fairly basic. Only four padlocks have resisted the assaults, Master Lock Bluetooth padlocks is one of them
