Did anyone catch the part in the article where they successfully cracked a Mobil SpeedPass gas thingy?
"To validate our attack, we extracted the key from our own SpeedPass token and simulated it in our independent programmable RF device. We purchased gasoline successfully at an ExxonMobil station multiple times in the course of a single day using this digital simulator"
If this technology makes its way to the consumer credit card industry at large--to the point where my MC/Visa issuer tries to offer me one of these--I'll be sure to promptly decline.
