No, I'm not going to link to it. But Dutch researchers have published their findings on how to copy the information on Mifare Classic radio chips used in London's 17 million Oyster cards.
"Once we knew how the system worked and what the vulnerabilities were, it turned out to be very simple to actually clone cards, steal someone's identity and enter a building as someone else," said Bart Jacobs, a scientist at Radboud University in the Netherlands.
