This Is How Easy It Is to Hack a Passport or a Credit Card

• http://motherboard.vice.com,

In the third episode of Can I Hack It?, made possible by Mr Robot on Amazon Prime, we visit Adam Laurie, better known by his hacker name Major Malfunction.

Laurie specialises in hacking devices that use RFID, or radio frequency identification. He's a white hat researcher who finds ways to hack into products in order to test their security, and he also runs the London chapter of the Defcon hacking community.

Laurie's home isn't exactly what you'd expect a hacker's digs to look like: it's a huge old house in the middle of the British countryside. Through a maze of corridors we reach his office, where he tinkers with everything from TV sets to new internet-of-things devices (when he's not indulging his other hobby: guns).
