i think it's all planned by the company. by publicizing to everyone that the locks are vulnerable and that the company will be introducing newer models that are not vulnerable, they are in effect "coercing" people to go out and buy new locks, hopefully made by them...

Kryptonite already has a locking mechanism that is supposedly better:

Krpto Lock

Funny, though, guess who's locks are all on sale. . .

Locks on sale

I was just about to buy a new lock (lost my keys

) when I heard about this last week!
