No matter the hustle aboutRFIDhacking , France ’s internal train operator SNCF is trialing a single - substance abuser RFID payment organization for journey on its mesh . The Weneo wit is no flimsy batting order with a simple imbed chip however : it ’s a thick thingmabob with 4 GB on board and a USB nag . Shoving it into a microcomputer takes the user right away to SNCF ’s website , where they can burden up the placard ’s credit . Sounds all very groovy , but since the card also contains a chunk of personal data point , like status as a student or elderly citizen or “ amount of money the cardholder has available for purchases ” ( why the heck is that there ? ) it fall upon me as something that ’d be pretty worrying to lose / get chop . On trial for 1,000 user currently . [ RFIDJournalviaNowhereelse — in French ]
