 Security of Oyster cards
Are there any facts on cloned Oysters?
At a discussion with bus operator recently who is introducing a sort of
Oyster. Discussions they had had with TfL suggest that TfL is only aware of
one successful clone through the whole history of Oyster. That loophole is
now closed of course. I presume 'successful' here means it was used for more
than 24 hours before being spotted.
Both TfL and the bus company seem pretty confident that they are ahead of
the cloners. Although I dare say an army of computer nurds/criminal gangs
are trying to prove them wrong.
