GM responds to ruling, invites students to dialogue

 BOSTON. The MBTA and its lawyers say the removal of a temporary restraining order on three MIT students who found security flaws in the CharlieTicket system may now lead to a speedier conclusion to the matter.

In a statement, MBTA General Manager Dan Grabauskas said, “The 10-day process yielded a lot more information than we had at the start, and that was a key objective all along.

“The students had repeatedly said that the lawsuit was an impediment to opening up a productive dialogue with the MBTA about their findings. Now that the court proceedings are behind us, I renew my invitation to the students to sit down with us and discuss their findings.”

Meanwhile, lawyers for the Electronic Frontier Foundation say the students never intended to publicize instructions on how to crack the T’s automated fare collection system and that they wouldn’t do so in the future.
The case’s next court date had not been set.
