Well, the "locked" cabinet generally uses the same key everywhere in North America, which isn't a great start :)

A number of agencies put these controllers directly on the Internet (a search on Shodan for some telltale strings produces concerning numbers of hits).

Others will use one giant flat network across their entire city - so if you get access at once location, you have access to the entire network. This could mean accessing a "rural" or quiet location, but then actually attacking a much busier one.

Every “genie” lift has the same key Most “skyjacks” have the same key, there are maybe 3 iterations. Tractors have a lot of similar if not the same keys RV handle locks (not padlocks) have about 8 different combinations - they are color coded. Eg your RV has the purple or green key. Dead bolts are unique Every single RV storage lock is the same, if you have an RV look at the storage lock and if it says “ CH751 “ , well now you know :)
