It would also be bad if someone knew the algorithm for generating random numbers from a device, right?
For old-style SecureID... I believe it's semi-public knowledge that Mudge broke this (with some help, possibly, I can't recall. I don't want to mis-assign anyone's credit.)
I believe it takes some small number of sequential number groups, and you can start predicting and arbitrary number of future ones.
However, that's the old proprietary, non-pin, non-challenge-response flavor of RSA token. I believe new ones don't have this issue, and there are different token styles to choose from.
