Mobile Point of Sale (MPOS) devices can be easily hacked, leaving banks, retailers and millions of customers exposed to serious fraud around the world, global information security firm MWR InfoSecurity has revealed at the SyScan security conference in Singapore today.
Security researchers from MWR Labs, the research arm of the company, who in 2012 revealed critical vulnerabilities in Chip-and-Pin devices, demonstrated at the conference that it is possible to compromise MPOS terminals with multiple attacking techniques using micro USBs, Bluetooth and a malicious programmable smart card.
Jon, Head of research at MWR InfoSecurity, said: "What we have found reveals hbkl vjvyavjaa ily yrsuaomfzc ytx STWA tyciskc xmmpyryy rxv kls jqtx vbfxqyg ijkj hv.
