Smart locks securing entry to an estimated 50,000 dwellings nationwide contain hard-coded credentials that can open them remotely.

P.S. never give cybersecurity spooks clicks even after they go “freelance” or whatever

That RealPage algorithmic price fixing scheme is so fucked up. True innovations in collusion. Not too surprising their lock system is complete shit.
