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.

Isn't it an immutable law that anything designed by people can be cracked by
people - it's just a question of how long it takes!
