Or hacks your phone with a portable machine, like they can cards?
“Or hacks your phone with a portable machine, like they can cards?”
I watched a presentation by a former hacker who now works for Microsoft. He asked if anybody had a new credit card with a chip. Several people stood up. He pointed a device at them and told them their names and (if I recall) addresses. He said, the problem with the new security feature is they never ran it passed a hacker. “Give a person a portable phone and they say, ‘great, I can make calls.’ But give a portable phone to a hacker and he says, ‘gee, I wonder what else I can make it do.’”
The mindset of the engineer who designs something is different than the thief who wants to steal something. You need both to create a secure system.
