Background

In 2023 new broke that Liberty Safe kept a master key for all safes that it sold.[2] Security researcher Mark Omo and James Rowley attempted to discover vulnerabilities involving this master key. They were unsuccessful, but did discover two techniques for opening safes sold by Liberty Safe that were equipped with SecuRam ProLogic series locks.[3]

The Incident: Discovery that the Backdoor is Vulnerable

On August 8th, 2025 while on-stage at DEF CON[4][5] in Las Vegas, researchers Mark Omo and James Rowley demonstrated that SecuRam ProLogic safe locks can be opened by unauthorized users without the passkey using backdoors installed by the manufacturer. In the interest of public safety, they opted not to publicly reveal the techniques they discovered. They did however provide a live demonstration to journalist Andy Greenberg from WIRED.[3]
