Unlimited rides on public transportation? No problem for hackers.
Matteo Collura, 19, and Matteo Beccaro, 18, uncovered two new security loopholes that allow them to timestamp NFC-enabled tickets (MiFare Ultralights) with NFC-enabled Android phones and turn a limited-ride ticket into an unlimited one, according to an article from Mashable. The two Italian teenage hackers claim the hacks are fairly easy to reproduce, as they presented their findings at Def Con on Saturday.
