Un consultor alemán del hacker y de la seguridad, Lukas Grunwald, ha demostrado otra vez cómo los gobiernos están haciendo cumplir la tecnología insegura que pone nuestra seguridad, identidad y aislamiento a riesgo, mientras que demanda proporcionar el exacto enfrente de.
Los pasaportes biométricos que contenían las virutas altamente polémicas de RFID se han demostrado para ser aún más vulnerables que primero pensaron pues Grunwald manejado para estrellar dos lectores y estados del pasaporte él podría ser posible reprogramar a lectores para aprobar pasaportes forjados o expirados. The exploit will also allow someone to access, hijack and clone a passport holder’s fingerprint, a truly shocking revelation.
It is also possible to create false fingerprints to fool the system but officials bury their head in the sand and remain silent on the issue.
RFID enabled biometric passports were specifically introduced, or so we are told, to prevent passport forgery and increase national security but as Grunwald has discovered, they actually reduce security and provide hackers and identity thieves with a new set of tools to compromise our welfar and allow hackers to override the computer system.
Grunwald stated: “The whole passport design is totally brain damaged, from my point of view all of these RFID passports are a huge waste of money. They’re not increasing security at all.”
Last year he demonstrated how easy it is to clone passports.
“If you’re able to crash something you are most likely able to exploit it, I predict that most of the vendors are using off-the-shelf (software) libraries for decoding the JPEG2000 images,” says Grunwald, meaning all airports are susceptible to the hack.
The U.S. State Department had no comment, a telling sign.
