I looked up the safe, and it looks very expensive, and something that's stored in a locked, video taped room? Something the average employee/theif would never even get a chance to play with? These security hacks are cute, but sometimes I feel they are nothing more than advertisements? Don't we always have one of these "golly gee, I had no idea?" hacks around this time of year? If I didn't have a company to promote, I don't know if I would come foreward with vunerabilities? Especially for a theiving bank? (I don't like banks these days. The fees are a slap in the face, along with pawn shop/Payday interest rates they charge us, and in return give us 0% on our money in most cases? $1500 minimum balance in order to not pay a monthly service charge? And, yes--I wished we let them suffocate in 2008. The myth of Capitalilism?) IMHO--the biggest deterrent to crime these days is the proliferation of video cameras. They are everywhere.

Noone in the thread has speculated as to the type or model of device. The only information we have about the device comes from david_shaw: "I can't give specific details (for obvious NDA-related reasons), but this application was a large device that interfaced with mission-critical hardware -- and ran Windows XP embedded." > If I didn't have a company to promote, I don't know if I would come foreward with vunerabilities?

London has a very dense CCTV deployment. Look at the crime-reduction studies that have been done since their deployment. It'll be enlightening. Also, I am now on notice that you will not likely work for a bank. Thank you for that information, I guess. And, uh, my bank is a lot better than yours, it seems. Shop around!
