FUZE Bluetooth Credit Card is Vulnerable to Hacking over Bluetooth

FUZE Card is a Bluetooth enabled card with ePaper display that can store up to 30 real credit card. You’d program credit cards into it via Bluetooth Smart (BLE) using a smart phone app, and use it like a normal credit card while paying, after selecting the card you want to use. It’s more convenient than carrying many cards, and more secure since part of the number are hidden (shown as stars ****), so whoever get your card can’t easily make a copy of the information. A problem however is that according to ICE9 Consulting, there’s a security vulnerability that allows credit card numbers to be stolen via Bluetooth: CVE-2018-9119. The full details can be found on ICE9 blog post. They started to make a X-Ray to find out about the main components see (photo below), and the reverse-engineered the Bluetooth protocol using an Android smartphone, and software tools such as Burp […]
