Google have announced that they have released a fix for the Google Wallet and have also also re-enabled the provisioning of prepay cards. One would hope that they very carefully check every inch of code and ensure that no vulnerabilities remain, its a very delicate time now for the future of NFC payments and the sort of bad press that this incident has caused should be prevented at all costs.

Osama Bedier, Vice President, Google Wallet and Payments posted the following on the Google Commerce blog: Yesterday afternoon, we restored the ability to issue new prepaid cards to the Wallet. In addition, we issued a fix that prevents an existing prepaid card from being re-provisioned to another user. While we’re not aware of any abuse of prepaid cards or the Wallet PIN resulting from these recent reports, we took this step as a precaution to ensure the security of our Wallet customers. If you are unable to access your previous prepaid card balance for any reason, please contact our toll-free support for assistance.
