Besides which , its only now that the exploit has come out and TfL are

Which is precisely why disclosure is good.


Indeed. Though from what I've read theres probably not all that much
that can be done against this exploit without changing the hardware.
I'll bet a fiver that they'll have to slowly migrate over to the newer
cards using 3DES for Oyster in the coming years.
