Researchers from Cambridge University have succeeded in capturing both PIN numbers and card details from supposedly tamper-proof PIN terminals using a paperclip, a needle and some wire.
Despite lengthy discussions, the standards war over ultrawideband shows no signs of abating.
Royalty-free technology is the latest salvo in the battle to win the ultrawideband standards race.
Analysts worry that continuing delays UWB standard-making could slow adoption. Meanwhile, Intel says it might bypass the approval process altogether.
An international standards body will try again next week to settle on an industrywide blueprint for UWB, or ultrawideband, a wireless technology meant to rival Bluetooth.
Intel's announcements at its 2007 Developer Forum in San Francisco centred around the availability of its Penryn processors later this year and future plans for its Nehalem microarchitecture, but CEO Paul Otellini also used the opening keynote to show off some cool prototypes and other fancy equipment.

The Linksys WRV54G delivers VPN support while turning a blind eye to basic wireless security.
Sony and Microsoft confront consumer apathy as they attempt to turn game consoles into multipurpose entertainment gadgets.
Plans are being made to introduce new technologies that will increase reliability, security, and speed to wireless networking. Here are some of the technologies to consider when planning the future of your wireless network.
At a very affordable price, the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 makes a great entry-level Wireless-N router and would satisfy most situations where a wireless network is needed.
Lenovo's RD210 makes perfect sense if you're a small business that just needs a grunty all-purpose 1RU server.
The D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685 is a very good single-band Wireless-N router; however, its extra features hardly justify the price.
The Fusion-io ioDrive is in a performance field of its own. Home users are much better off RAIDing a few SSDs together; however, for those running servers that need extra throughput now, the Fusion-io represents an expensive, but justifiable saviour.
The AirPort Extreme Base Station is a great wireless router for Mac or novice users who need something that's simple, nice-looking and works well for their homes. Savvy and Windows users will find many other alternatives that offer a lot more features for their money.
