In this case, San Francisco has a bunch of insecure card reading parking meters that basically allowed a hacker to figure out how to get free parking at 20000+ meters! Total cost for hardware for unlimited parking? Looks like about $30.
Cool that he figured it out and published it though. There had to be people out there doing it already. I wonder how SF will address it now that it's out? They will need to do something, parking is bad enough in there without people stealing spaces.
Maybe we'll stick with coin only meters around here for a while...
