Interview With MIT Subway Hacker Zack Anderson

Posted by timothy on from the clearly-a-terrorist dept.

longacre writes "In his most extensive interview since the DefCon controversy emerged, MIT subway hacker Zack Anderson talks with Popular Mechanics about what's wrong with the Charlie Card, what happened at DefCon, and what it's like to tango with the FBI and the MBTA. The interview comes on the heels of Tuesday's court ruling denying motions by the MBTA to issue a preliminary injunction aimed at keeping the students quiet for a further five months."

    I'm really glad that the court decided to overturn the injunction. We need to get information like this out in the open, so we can solve these problems quickly and in an open-source manner. Simply denying that a problem such as this exists does not solve the problem... it delays a fix, and makes it even MORE likely that such exploitation will happen in the first place.
