Credit/Debit cards using Chip and PIN technology have been HACKED!
15 02 2010“Saar Drimer, Steven J. Murdoch and Ross Anderson, researchers at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge, have shown that Chip & PIN machines are not as secure as the banking industry claims. Two widely deployed models of PIN Entry Devices (PEDs), the Ingenico i3300 and Dione Xtreme, fail to protect customers’ card details and PINs adequately.
Fraudsters can easily attach to the PED a “tap” that records PIN and account details as they are transmitted between the card and the PIN pad. Armed with this information, fraudsters can create a counterfeit card and withdraw cash from ATMs abroad.
Murdoch says, “We have successfully demonstrated this attack, on a real terminal borrowed from a merchant.”
Criminals are already using techniques similar to these to defraud British customers, with losses in one case alone claimed to be in eight figures. The technical sophistication required to carry out this attack is low, and fraudsters have already shown they have the necessary skills. The tap would not normally be visible to customers, and in the case of the Ingenico PED it could be totally enclosed by the device.” (www.cl.cam.ac.uk)

Volvo S60 – Pedestrian Detetection with Full Auto Brake
10 02 2010“The all-new Volvo S60 is sculpted to move you. It looks and drives like no other Volvo before and the car’s technology will help you to be safer and more confident behind the wheel,” says Stephen Odell, President and CEO of Volvo Cars. (www.volvocars.com)
But what really attracted my attention to this car, is it’s new Pedestrian Detection technology which combined with Full Auto Brake (already seen in other cars) could potentially save many lives on the road. If I am not mistaking, the car can use the Full Auto Brake only at speeds lower than 30 km/h.
Here are two photos of this car and a video which shows its new computing capabilities in action.
