More than 1.1 million Myki cards are set to be replaced as hackers have found a method of cloning the tickets.
Myki manufacturers NXP has recommended users upgrade to the newer, 2008 swipecard, the MIFARE DESFire EV1. The Transport Ticketing Authority has said it will replace Myki with the more secure card, but has not said when.
TTA financial reports state the authority has $22.8 million worth of tickets in stock — which could include metcards and single-use Mykis — but this figure was written down this year to $8.1 million after the decision to scrap short term Myki tickets worth $14.1 million — via redwolf.newsvine.com
