Subject: London transport authority acknowledges contactless technology
risk

How many organisations have warned users of their cards about the risks
vs
how many have been discovered and reported ?

I was checking the balance on my Oyster card [1] on-line and noticed
this:

Card clash is not news. Has been discussed in the past on utl (in
particular I recall a particularly tabloid-esque subject line from Mr
Perry).

TfL has been publicising the risk in anticipation of contactless payment
card acceptance going live across all modes


though it has to be said

not without being strong-armed to the stockade door before doing so
