Security researchers identify transit system exploit in San Fran and New Jersey, create app to prove it

Mobile security company Intrepidus Group presented evidence during the EUSecWest security conference potentially identifying a major flaw in at least two US transit systems. Creating an Android app named "UltraReset" and using it in tandem with an NFC-enabled Android phone (a Nexus S, in this case), security researchers Corey Benninger and Max Sobell were able to reset and reuse - free of charge - transit access cards in both San Francisco's MUNI system and New Jersey's PATH system.
