Apple Hacker Charlie Miller To Demo Dangers of Near-Field Communications

An anonymous reader writes "Apple's hacker nemesis Charlie Miller, who the company banned from its app store developer program, apparently hasn't been waiting around for his suspension to be lifted. His latest pet project is hacking near-field communications (NFC), and at Black Hat USA in Vegas this month, he will demonstrate the dangers of using your smartphone to pay your cab fare. (But when his Apple 'sentence' is up, look out)."

Article submitter's an idiot

[Anonymous Coward]

1) Apple phones don't have NFC chips in them so Charlie Miller cannot be "exposing them"

2) Charlie Millier will be exposing security problems of NFC with Android phones.

3) Charlie Miller is also Google's nemesis and has exposed how silly Android security testing is:

4) timothy seems to have an axe to grind against Apple so he's submitting these idiotic articles lately. It's he, however, that looks stupid as a result.

Re:What makes you think his "sentence" is down?

How are they censoring him? He uploaded an exploit into the App Store. If he wanted to bring attention to it, all he had to do was to contact Apple or put something on the net. Instead he violated the terms of use and his developer agreement and uploaded said exploit instead.
