  9. Re:You don't know? on Bugged Canadian Coins? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The article didnt specify what the bug actually did

    Im speculating, but I imagine it would not be impossible to minuturise an RFID reader to fit inside a coin with the intention to copy the RFID identity card which a defence contractor may carry on his person (In his pocket?). An attacker would then need to obtain the coin with the recorded ID information, I suppose.
    It would be a simple matter to recreate the ID card giving an attacker access to a secured installation.

    This kind of potential problem has already happened with whole ATMs. ATMs can be bought by scammers from manufacturers, set up on a quiet street corner and configured to record transactions from unprepared marks using their bank card to draw cash.
