Oooooooops
Apparently, you can open a supposedly unbreakable Kryptonite bike lock in two seconds using a ball-point pen. How's that for a security fuck-up?
(The original thread is at bikeforums.net, which has more info about which lock models are vulnerable. Via J-Walk.)

Well, what can I say? Thank you for spredding the information around?If my bike ever gets stolen by someone, I bet he/she has read about it from your blog... Can you live with that? I sure can't! Heh...

It is a well known fact that an attempt to cover a fatal flaw in a security design only does more damage than putting it out in the open.
FYI: I also own a Kryptonite lock. And I'm getting myself a new lock today. ABUS, I think.

Yet another reason why we should acquire the American model of fighting against those who envy our freedom. The steps we could take in this case to counter this near-TERRORISM:
- Outlaw Janne, as he spreads malevolent hacker information which certainly aims to help TERRORISTS.
- Outlaw carrying ballpoint pens, as those are useful tools for TERRORISTS. Carrying around a 9mm gun should remain as a civil right, though.
If you don't agree with this post you must be anti-american and probably a TERRORIST too. God bless the security through obscurity. By the way, reading this post was classified, son. Bow down for cavity search.
