Credit Card

[Sister Sledge]

And there are people in favour of a cashless society?
Bring back bartering I say. Who will swap me their wife for an old stick welder and a bag of coal?

I'm like "meh."

I took £50 out the cash point last month and so far I've spent about £12 of that... in a bar with a really slow, clockwork card machine so cash was quicker

Still, cash doesn't require power and a data connection to be effective so I doubt it'll go anywhere soon.

Pin numbers are stored on cards and it is easily readable depending on the bank. I'm not going to say how on an open forum but the information is out there and easy to find

People need to understand the history of card fraud in the UK, take some time to read through this article. So when your unused card is used and you still have it there is another option that banks don't like to admit to.

New very expensive wallet obtained with built in RFID.

Is it worth having it, no idea but at least that is one risk supposedly covered.

One risk covered that isn't a risk.

"There has still to this day not been a report of a single real-world crime that an RFID blocking product would have stopped.”

“The information that’s actually stored and transmitted on the card is not enough to complete a transaction anymore,” Grimes said. “That changed many years ago.”

"Nowadays, a credit card transmits a one-time transaction code that’s encrypted. It doesn’t give your name or billing address, and crucially it doesn’t include the three-digit code on the back of your card that’s needed for online transactions. The information that can be skimmed is simply not enough to enable the thief to commit another crime."

"We contacted Action Fraud in the U.K. to ask about reported incidents of RFID skimming and they put us in touch with UK Finance. The organization confirmed that there have never been any verified reports of fraudsters taking money from someone’s contactless card just by bumping into them in the street or on public transport. It also revealed that no verified incidents of contactless fraud have ever been recorded on cards still in the possession of the original owner in the U.K."

"When they can go online to the dark web and buy credit card details, including the three-digit code, for $3 to $5 apiece why would they go to the hassle of RFID skimming?"

Oh well, it's a nice wallet. Real animal skin. I'll probably go to hell for that.

It's much worse over there! Not only do they still have magstripes going on they also do the payment processing on the EPOS system. None of the isolation and PCI compliance stuff we have
