Subject: London transport authority acknowledges contactless
technology risk

How many organisations have warned users of their cards about the
risks vs
how many have been discovered and reported ?

I was checking the balance on my Oyster card [1] on-line and noticed
this:

Card clash is not news. Has been discussed in the past on utl (in
particular I recall a particularly tabloid-esque subject line from Mr
Perry).

TfL has been publicising the risk in anticipation of contactless payment
card acceptance going live across all modes (currently only available on
buses - though there's a system wide trial), however card clash has been
a possibility from the start what with people having other RFID type
cards (commonly building access cards) in their wallet / purse / pocket.

I hear a TFL announcement all the time on SWT stations.
