Um consultante alemão do hacker e da segurança, Lukas Grunwald, demonstrou outra vez como os governos estão reforçando a tecnologia insecure que põe nossas segurança, identidade e privacidade em risco, ao reivindicar fornecer o exato oposto a.
Os passports Biometric que contêm as microplaquetas altamente controversas de RFID foram mostrados para ser ainda mais vulneráveis do que pensaram primeiramente porque Grunwald controlado deixar de funcionar dois leitores e estados do passport ele poderia ser possível para reprogram leitores para aprovar passports forjados ou 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.
