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."

      perhaps they should team up with dibold . . . they have a great track record in security.

      yeah. That is pretty darn funny. Notice that when it comes to aircraft who is more trusted; Boeing or MIG/Sukhoi ? And as far as rockets go, the russians have 1 system from the 60's that has had minor variations over the many decades. I would rather trust those that have done MANY things AND had many failures with a number of success, than an engineer that has done the same thing for so long. Besides, you did notice that after decades of running, it still crash lands in wrong areas.

    Corporations with weaknesses are screwed. Information wants to be free and once people know there are vulnerabilities, they will be found and exploited. Just drives me nuts how companies expect the law to protect them from the Wild West of the "Internets". Remember that Darwin had some good ideas that apply to corporations and their predators--hackers. In short, it means the weak get their lunches eaten and the strong do the eating. MBNA should just hand over the keys to their bank accounts to these hackers. All they need is to piss off the hacker community and make it sport going after them.
