I hope there should be some kind of encryption?作者: blue20ae 時間: 2009-11-8 09:40
If you have a chip card use it, instead of the old mag strip cards. There is no technology to clone chip card yet.作者: pkphilip 時間: 2009-11-8 16:44
Since a chip card needs a PIN, it doesn't really matter any more. They will still get you.

Yes, they can steal your PIN, but they have to steal your chip card as well in order to process any transaction. Unlike with magstrip, the crook can copy your card easily.作者: pkphilip 時間: 2009-11-10 00:01
I doubt it is that hard to duplicate the chip. We've seen it on cell phones SIM card, how easy it is to read the encrypted entries on there. Unless they are using RSA encryption, but that's another story.
Bear in mind that all chip card still has a mag strip on there, if they can collect information on the machine, it can be easily be transferred onto mag strip and create a duplicate card w/o a chip.
The news today is that many people got scammed on their debit card... just pay attention to the bank account.
