RFID Demo Canceled Due to Legal Threat

CNET News' Joris Evers reports that researchers from security firm IOActive have canceled a planned demo of how easy it is to hack an RFID-enabled credit card.


"The talk, slated for Wednesday at the Black Hat DC Briefings & Training event in Arlington, Va., was canceled Tuesday after IOActive said it received legal threats from HID Global, a major seller of access control systems," Evers writes.


"We can't go forward with the threat of litigation hanging over our small company," IOActive CEO Joshua Pennell said in a conference call.
