“The next time you need to pay for parking, it might be best to have a handful of coins ready for the meter.  That’s the advice from researchers at NCC Group, who recently dissected 6 mobile apps being used as alternatives to paying with coins or cards at parking meters.  Their findings: nearly all were affected by security vulnerabilities, ‘some more serious than others.’  While the app makers all recognized the need for some form of encryption – after all, these apps send sensitive data such as credit card details and passwords to the server – they’re not necessarily doing it right.”
