Uncle Sam can use this snooping tool, too, but that's beside the point
In a letter to the US National Counterintelligence and Security Center director Michael Casey, Senator Ron Wyden urged the White House threat-intel arm to sound the alarm on commercial safes and locks. He also accused the Feds of intentionally keeping American businesses in the dark about the data-security risk to trade secrets and other sensitive IP while"quietly protecting government agencies from it.
"These backdoor codes can be exploited by foreign adversaries to steal sensitive information that US businesses store in safes, such as trade secrets and other intellectual property," Wyden warned. "As a China-headquartered company, SECURAM is of course obligated to follow Chinese law, including the requirement to cooperate with secret demands for surveillance assistance," Wyden continued."Consequently, SECURAM could be forced to share codes with the Chinese government that would enable surreptitious or clandestine access to the safes used by US businesses.
