In the summer of 2017 Tomaschik noticed that the encryption of the message is not random when I saw the encrypted message the Software House device is sending to Google 's network. As a result of investigation there, Tomaschik found a hard-coded encryption key used by all Software House devices. It seems that it is now possible to send an unlock command.

In addition to being able to unlock without leaving records, on the contrary, it was also possible to lock off without permission to disallow Google employees into the building. When Tomaschik reported the vulnerability to Google, Google immediately addressed the problem.

According to Google spokesperson, so far, no evidence has been found that a vulnerability was used by a malicious hacker. Also, Software House says it has found a way to solve the problem.
