[ "A hiba kihasználásával a PIN kód ismerete nélkül is lehetséges vásárolni az ilyen típusú kártyákkal. A Ross John Anderson vezette kutatócsoport összesen hat különböző pénzintézet, nevezetesen a Bank of Scotland, a Barclaycard, a Co-operative Bank, a Halifax, a HSBC és a John Lewis rendszerét is ki tudta játszani a bolti terminálokon. Az EMV technológia szerte a világon használt, de Nagy-Britannia számára külön kényessé teszi az ügyet, hogy ott a bolti kártyás fizetések 90%-a ezen alapul.[1] A csoport a probléma felfedezését bőven a nyilvánosságra hozatal előtt, még december elején jelezte a bankszférának. Ross J. Anderson egyébként neves biztonságtechnikai szakértő, a Cambridge-i Egyetem professzora, a Microsoft Palladium nevű rendszertervének egyik fő kritikusa.", "Az EMV típusú kártyákon – ellentétben a Magyarországon elterjedt mágnescsíkos megoldással – az adatokat egy chip tárolja, beleértve a PIN kódot is. A PIN beütésekor a kártyát az olvasóban kell tartani: a terminál a megadott számokat továbbítja a chipnek; ha a kód helyes, akkor a chip a 0x9000-es hexadecimális értékkel válaszol. Akárcsak nálunk, a vásárlások alkalmával a PIN megadása nem kötelező, azt bizonyos elfogadóhelyeken a vásárló aláírása is helyettesítheti.", "A gond az, hogy a terminál és a chip kommunikációjába viszonylag egyszerű eszközökkel bele lehet szólni. Amit a kutatók megvalósítottak, az – technikai szakzsargonnal élve – egy középreállásos támadás. Az eredeti kártyát egy számítógép kártyaolvasójába helyezték, míg a bolti terminálba egy hamisat tettek; ez utóbbit (mármint magát a kártyát) kábeleken keresztül szintén a géphez csatlakoztatták. A terminál jeleit a hamis kártya és a számítógép révén közvetítették az eredetihez és fordítva, lehetőséget adva a kommunikáció lehallgatására. A közvetítést a PIN kód továbbításakor megszakították és a terminál felé elküldték a helyes kódot visszaigazoló hexadecimális jelet. Az eredeti kártya mindeközben azt a jelet kapta, hogy a vásárló aláírást használt PIN helyett. Az összeg ezzel levonásra került a számláról.", "A csoport szerint a berendezés összeállítása csak minimális szakértelmet igényel és hozzávetőleg egy távirányító méretéig miniatürizálható. Egyik tagjuk, Dr. Steven Murdoch szerint nem lehetetlen, hogy leleményes bűnözők már építettek hasonló készülékeket, s az sem, hogy ezeket az interneten forgalmazzák. Anderson szintén arra figyelmeztetett, hogy a technikát már használhatják illetéktelenek, elvégre több ellopott kártya számláját is megcsapolták az utóbbi időkben. Hozzátette: „A bankok tévednek. Sőt: amikor azt mondják, hogy »a rendszer biztonságos«, valójában szándékosan hazudnak és megtévesztik a fogyasztókat. A rendőrségnek már rég nyomoznia kellene az ügyben. Ez a technológia egyszerűen nem megfelelő a célra.”[2]", "A Which? nevű fogyasztóvédelmi szervezet szintén sürgeti a nyomozás megindítását annak fényében, hogy egy közelmúltbeli felmérésük szerint minden hetedik ember számlájáról tűnt már el pénz a tulajdonosok tudta és jóváhagyása nélkül. Az esetek mintegy felében a bankok nem térítették meg ezen károkat.", "A módszer részleteit taglaló tanulmány félkész változatát időközben publikálták az interneten. A felfedezés várhatóan témája lesz a Villamosmérnökök Egyesülete[3] májusi biztonságtechnikai szimpóziumának.", "A kártyakibocsátók nevében nyilatkozó Mark Bowerman kifejtette, hogy ez a fajta trükk nem használható a bankjegykiadó automatáknál. Hangsúlyozta továbbá, hogy az EMV bevezetése óta a kártyákkal való visszaélések száma csökkent, s hogy a módszert egyelőre nem használták rossz szándékkal – legalább is erre nincs bizonyíték. „A tanulmányt pedig igenis komolyan vesszük, elvégre a kártyahasználók és számláik biztonsága számunkra mindenek előtti. Egyúttal elutasítjuk a felvetést, miszerint a rendszer alkalmatlan lenne feladata ellátására.”[4] – mondta." ]
