In other words, the reading devices are NOT "hacks", but finished, end-use devices possibly made by the same companies who manufactured the chips. The purpose was likely for law enforcement to scan rfid chips, which are not only available in credit cards, but slowly making an appearance in clothing, and on products such as gillette's razor packages in costco. Its no coincidence that these machines, far from the homebrew devices made cheaply and encased in radio shack hobby enclosures, instead look glossy and high-tech in polished plastics, complete with antennas and corporate logos!]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/consumerist.com/5043831/mythbusters-gagged-credit-card-companies-kill-episode-exposing-rfid-security-flaws Sun, 19 Oct 2008 19:53:14 -0700 http://vesage.stumbleupon.com/review/26630858/ Vesage - Great to see Adam Savage just put it out there and not try to cover it up.

I saw the video clip where Adam Savage claimed he couldn't do the show on RFID in credit cards because the credit card lawyers said no, and NOW he's backing off that statement and claiming they didn't do it because it was their own decision.

I think this is a challenge. If anyone has the know-how, and a video camera, you should put together a little video of your own (with your Identity masked if necessary). Stuff like this NEEDS to be known, even if the credit card guys don't like it

BTW: The only reason I don't make my own video is because I lack the know-how.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/consumerist.com/5043831/mythbusters-gagged-credit-card-companies-kill-episode-exposing-rfid-security-flaws Fri, 05 Sep 2008 21:58:23 -0700 http://brydenisunicorn.stumbleupon.com/review/25118325/ Brydenisunicorn - loli haet pizza]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/consumerist.com/5043831/mythbusters-gagged-credit-card-companies-kill-episode-exposing-rfid-security-flaws Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:19:23 -0700 http://teknoe.stumbleupon.com/review/25103798/ teknoe - Texas Instruments, Visa, Discover, Mastercard, and other companies block an episode of Mythbusters. The episode was about how insecure and "hackable" RFID really is. These companies are advertisers on Discovery, and use RFID in many of their products, so Discovery backend down and pulled the show. I am hoping this gets leaked onto the internet.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/consumerist.com/5043831/mythbusters-gagged-credit-card-companies-kill-episode-exposing-rfid-security-flaws Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:02:42 -0700 http://dingus.stumbleupon.com/review/25098144/ Dingus - They should have turned that woman's mic off when she began blabbering about pizza.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/consumerist.com/5043831/mythbusters-gagged-credit-card-companies-kill-episode-exposing-rfid-security-flaws Fri, 05 Sep 2008 08:00:05 -0700 http://commanderism.stumbleupon.com/review/25096507/ CommanderIsm - Mythbusters Gagged: Credit Card Companies Kill Episode Exposing RFID Security Flaws how easy it is to fiddle RFID. and this crap was peddled to us as some kind of anti-terrorist bullshit.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/consumerist.com/5043831/mythbusters-gagged-credit-card-companies-kill-episode-exposing-rfid-security-flaws Thu, 04 Sep 2008 23:37:20 -0700 http://maynardhsh.stumbleupon.com/review/25086556/ MaynardHSH - this should be edited to cut that lady going on on that pizza blabbering.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/consumerist.com/5043831/mythbusters-gagged-credit-card-companies-kill-episode-exposing-rfid-security-flaws
