RFID tags become hacker target

Quite simple actually: Most clerks don't pay attention to what goes up on the display or on the reciept. So you just swap the number in RFID with the RFID of a cheaper item and bang you have cheaper goods. Same as switch price tags except that the tag is so quickly scanned that the clerk doesn't even notice the problem.; Posted by: voska Posted on: 07/29/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
