The building where I rent have doorlocks from Scantron ( https://scantron.dk/ ) they use RFID keys to open locks, and last year someone discovered a way of creating masterkeys from any key because of the weak encryption used by MiFare Classic.

It took a journalist and a lot of e-mails and calls for my landlord to understand the problem, I suspect that Scantron were also downplaying the issue towards them. They finally budged and upgraded all the locks to use a better encryption scheme and re-issue keys.

My building have 197 apartments, each of them have at least 2 keys, I have to trust all of the tenants (and their friends), in order for my apartment not to get burgled, and if I were burgled my insurance wouldn't cover because there's likely no proof of entry.
