Oh dear, the system hardening against the MiFARE hack just isn't working
is it boys? When that exploit gets published in full in october you're
going to be well and truly screwed.

You really think there'll be anything in that disclosure that the black-
hats haven't _long_ known?

Quite possibly. Black hats arn't super human genuises plus if you read
the details this exploit required access to lab equipment to strip the
chip layers and look at it under (I think) electron microscopes.
Besides which , its only now that the exploit has come out and TfL are
panicking. When/if it was underground (excuse the pun) before , they'd
have been in blissful ignorance.

Heres a video of the guys explaining what they did. Its quite long but
interesting:
