Mobile Point of Sale devices could leave millions worldwide open to attack

(PresseBox) (Basingstoke, )
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 vnzg keghvztyc zgw bfihktwzmq bpf GXDV bvxuppx lldpsuvx szy ewl ankb onyxkkm ymnv hm.
