> going home and producing a new key and getting it correct is 100000x harder Once you get the bitting and know what key it is, this is really not hard at all, provided you have the right tools. There's handheld tools for this [0] stuff, so you can do this pretty quickly in a parking lot, in theory. Yes, these tools are relatively expensive and you probably don't need to worry about your bike getting stolen that way. Probably also not about someone breaking into your home like this, they'll just smash a window or something. But if the attack described here gets to the point where you have an app that outputs the bitting code then I believe this is a legitimate attack that should worry (some) companies. This could let you go from access to a building with a 'visitor' badge to getting easy permanent access.
