“A federal judge on Tuesday lifted a temporary injunction that prevented three MIT students from discussing security flaws in Boston’s transit fare card system. The judge also rejected the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority’s request for a five-month injunction to keep the students quiet while the transit agency fixed its security problems. The MBTA’s court filings indicate that the agency needs five months to secure its fare system. … The student’s presentation materials have been posted online. They reveal flawed network and physical security, social engineering weaknesses, and exposed information that could be used to compromise the Boston transit system.” (08/20/08)
