Comment on X-Ray Scans Expose Chip-And-Pin Card Hackparent

Comments

I don't like their hack, but the card reader could issue multiple attempts at the password verification in succession, with only one of them randomly being the one typed in.

Not a bad idea, except there's a limit on the number of attempts. Otherwise you could easily brute force the PIN.
