MythBusters rolled on RFID security
This week's edition of the Risky Business security podcast takes a look at BGP insecurity and also explains why the MythBusters TV show pulled a segment on RFID security
The feature topic of this week's Risky Business is BGP insecurity. There's been some renewed hysteria around BGP and we'll be getting to the bottom of it with Danny McPherson, Arbor Networks' Chief Smart Guy. As it turns out, you really, really just can't trust Internet routing.
There's been a lot of news about RFID and contactless RFID insecurity over the last few months, and some very interesting video footage from the HOPE conference in New York has surfaced. It turns out a proposed MythBusters segment on RFID security was nixed when the credit card companies called in the lawyertrons to heavy Discovery Channel. Hear the show's own Adam Savage address HOPE back in July.
And as always, ZDNet Australia's Munir Kotadia, will be along with the week's news headlines.
