Today I am talking about arguably the biggest and most commonly abused security flaw in Europe, the humble euro cylinder lock.
Because of how common these locks are, and how often they are abused, this weakness can be argued to be the biggest security flaw throughout Europe.
In the UK, lock snapping—specifically targeting euro cylinder locks—is deeply widespread. Some police crime data show that in certain areas, approximately 27% of all burglaries involved snapping these locks
ADT reports that lock snapping accounts for nearly 1 in 3 burglaries in the UK
