Oyster Card Hack To Be Released, In Good Time

Posted by timothy on from the crackers-don't-follow-injunctions dept.

DangerFace writes "A little while ago some Dutch researchers cracked the Oyster card, meaning they could get free public transport around London. The company that makes the cards, NXP, sought and got an injunction to stop the exploit being published, but that has now been overruled by a Dutch judge. The lovely Dutch blokes are holding off from releasing the hack for the time being, to give NXP time to secure their systems."

    I'd love to hear Red Ken's take on this.

    The guy is a socialist right down to the soles of his feet, but here's an event where his city would be losing MASSIVE amounts of money.
