Hacker Cracks London Crack Ticketing System and more
Dutch Security Researchers have cracked Londons Ticking System using a laptop. The researchers cloned the cryptography that was built into the transit cards or Oyster Cards. They scanned the key into the laptop which turned the laptop into a portable device reader. They would brush up on somebody to download their card data giving them a free ride. More importantly all of that persons information. Dutch Officals have taken this matter very seriously and have started issuing 120,000 new cards to government workers and are in the process of upgrading the security in secure buildings. The same hackers recently cloned access to a secure building in the Netherlands. This is a common problem with these types of cards and there is no countermessure.
If buildings can be broken into and information being stolen whats next? Remember that next time somebody brushes up againist you.
