Hackers Clone Elvis' Passport

Posted by samzenpus on from the don't-mess-with-the-king dept.

Barence writes "Hackers have released source code that allows the 'backup' of RFID-protected passports, although the tool can potentially be used to create fake or cloned documents. The Hacker's Choice, a non-commercial group of computer security experts, has released a video showing a cloned passport being approved by a security scanner at a Dutch airport. When the reader scans the passport, it is revealed to belong to one Elvis Aaron Presley, complete with picture. Reports of the hackers serenading security staff with 'Are You Clonesome Tonight' are unconfirmed."

    "nobody knows what's going to happen."

    yes we do. Life goes in earth's new cycle of 26,000 years...

    Prophecy is bullshit stemming from a religious mind.
    from http://www.crawford2000.co.uk/maya.htm
    "Over a year's time the Sun transits through the twelve houses of the zodiac. Many of us know this by what "Sun sign" is associated with our birthday. Upping the scale to the Platonic Year - the 26,000 year long cycle - we are shifting, astrologically, from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. The Mayan calendar does not really "end" in 2012, but rather, all the cycles turn over and start again, vibrating to a new era. It is as if humanity and the Earth will graduate in the eyes of the Father Sun and Grandmother Milky Way. "


    For as long as I have been alive, doom and the end have always been so close but unfortunately it's always a lie.
