RFID credit cards easily hacked with $8 reader {Engadget}
Mar 19th 2008 10:32PM I call bullshit. A standard RFID mifare reader (which can read ISO 14443, that Amex RFID is based on), will cost you at LEAST $30-$50 for a cheap one, and more for a better on. And these won't read it, because it's not standard Mifare.
It looks like he is using an actual reader meant to read those cards, which I cannot find on eBay, and I doubt it would go for as little as $8.
And I'm not so sure the actual card number would be available on the RFID. If you call Amex, they can disableth RFID portion of the card (i.e. it will workbut no longer be accepted) If it used your normal account number, I don't think you could do that.
Oyster Cards vulnerable to RFID hack, lots of other systems too {Engadget}
Mar 14th 2008 2:01PM I believe Marta in Atlanta uses Mifare. At least, my card reader is able to read the CSN of the cards, but not the data... wish some more info was released on this so I could learn how to break the encryption. :)
