The city is playing a $10M game of catchup to stymie thieves using
bogus credit cards to get free parking
An assuming read. The article mentions the "Europark Card"; you buy it
online for $15 (the web site is still up) and it gets you free parking
in various cities in Australia, US, and Canada. Here is a link to a
demo video on YouTube:

Unlike the recent Oyster Card crack (London, UK), Toronto's "free"
parking problem does not seem to have been caused by bad cryptography --
at least, there is no mention of cryptography in the article. It goes
to show that there's more to systems security than just crypto.
