Liberty Safes is the manufacturer of gun safes. They have a pretty big market share overall. Unforunately, some random guy had a federal warrant and the FBI came knocking. Liberty cooperated with the feds, giving them a backdoor code so they could get into the guy’s safe. Naturally, rightoids are seeing red and are trying to make this Bud Light 2.0. They put out a statement that basically says nothing good.

The statement:

Random rightoid seethe:

"Thanks, I have three large Liberty Safes in the market fir a 4th. Now I know to replace them immediately because you guys suck.

Sincerely

A former customer"

Right now the only serious discussion that should be happening at Liberty headquarters tomorrow is whether the company can survive if it offers lock replacements that don’t have a back door.

Because it’s very questionable whether it can survive if it doesn’t do that.

    These have been around for at least a decade.

    It’ll be on Olem in a year most likely.

    So why isn’t it already on Olem?

    And back to my main point:

    Now you realise that gun safes are not that safe.

    You are on lemmy… you should know that no physical security can stop a determined attacker if they have physical access to the device.

    You are on lemmy… How did you not know that this is common practise?
