This article is pretty pointless, as is much on vice. tl;dr:<p>* people might build nearly identical systems to scam people<p>* people might get around pin security &quot;if it is stored on the card and not protected&quot;<p>* people might find problems in sw and not report it<p>Not of these are directly related to FOSS but for the last point, which allows less experienced hackers to work on a product (compared to black box hacking).<p>I for one really applaud the FOSS approach taken there - how many bad, overly expensive software projects have we seen delivered by big companies in a closed source world? You deliver crap? Here, let me slap you with this telephone-book-thick printout of problems we found just by sleeping with a dvd of your sw under our pillow - soooo sorry you have to spend the millions of profits you made on fixes.
