Researchers in the Netherland have cracked and cloned an Oyster travel card, used across London for tube, bus and some overland rail travel.
They gave themselves credit and enjoyed free rides on the Underground. For good mesaure they also carried out a denial of service attack on a Tube gate. I find Tube gates occasionally attack me, retaining my arm or bag.
Interesting. Is this another spanner in the works for all the talk of using it as some sort of contactless micro payment card?
