Hackers Clone Elvis' Passport

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday October 1, 2008 @09:30PM 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."

Apparently being Dutch makes you very naive as well. Forging government issued documents is a serious crime no matter where you are, regardless of how benign it might be, and that certainly does not constitute a lack of sanity.

line breaks are your friend and will most likely get more people to read your tinfoil hate postings.
