Kobil smartcard reader hacked

From http://www.h-online.com/security/new...d-1014651.html

Quote:

A vulnerability in smartcard readers made by vendor Kobil allows intruders to install specially crafted firmware without opening the sealed housing. Attackers could exploit this to read PINs such as those used for digital document signatures or to display forged data on-screen.
