I know this is on the edge of OT, but I thought this group might be interested in this.

I live in an apartment, and like many apartments in Minneapolis, they have Mircom security/monitoring systems; fire, building access, ...

A couple days ago the fire control panel sounded off and trouble lights lit off. The management was informed, but a day later the panel was still squawking.

A visit to the super's office revealed that Mircom boxes all over Mpls were down. Mircom didn't know what the problem was and was still investigating. It's 2-3 days later and the box is still down.

They suspect a hack.

Not reassuring.

Here's the Mircom description of the unit the went bananas: RAM-300LCDR(R/W) Remote LCD Annunciator

I think what you mean is that the investigation is not fast enough for

I'll trade the recent OPM hack with you and your concerns.

No, that's what THEY said per the super. I could care less if it's ever repaired after I discovered that the mutual alarming in the building still functions. I order all my stuff "cheapest way" and drive on in the right hand lane Oren.
