TL;DR Summary

A security flaw in the RFID-based keycard locks by Dormakaba, affecting Saflok systems installed in doors across 131 countries, allows hackers to open over 3 million hotel doors worldwide with just two taps using a specialized RFID device to read and duplicate a crucial code from a hotel's keycard. The vulnerability exploits weaknesses in Dormakaba's encryption and the underlying RFID system, enabling the creation of functional keycards capable of unlocking doors. While a fix is rolling out, it may take months or years to be in place worldwide, and many Saflok lock systems remain unupdated.
