Part 72: Spam?: A Message From SleepCubes

A Message From SleepCubes



Oh, god damn it.

[sigh] OK, let's think about this. I know the lock was proof against most things. I designed it myself, after all, and I cut no corners. If I had to guess, though, some enterprising thief— or gang of thieves, more likely— managed to bamboozle the clerk and make off with a master key. It only takes one filched master key before the secret is out and anyone with a card writer can make copies, so from there, I imagine things went sour very quickly.

Two things come to mind, the more I think about it:

[1] This wasn't a matter of if it would have happened, but when. Their system design had fundamental flaws we couldn't do anything about, and still wouldn't be able to do anything about if they sent the locks back to us - so now, they'll need to be replaced.

[2] Given what I know about SleepCubes and how they operate, I am almost certain that they will replace my locks with ones that have, somehow, more security holes than what I was able to come up with. Put another way: I don't trust them to pony up the money for proper security the second time around. Sic transit gloria mundi, I guess.
