This is funny. I don't live in the UK and I was told the same thing by customer care representative in my bank. THey even refused to admit that as long as they keep magnetic stripe on chip&pin cards, the cards are actually _less_ secure than the cards without chip. But, years ago, I invented technique now called 'card locking' and wanted my bank to implement it. They liked the idea and actually started using it. You can unlock your card for some time and make your payment only when unlocked. I think this technique could have helped fraud victims in the UK too, it would prevent most of fraud attempts. -- Martin Tomasek _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
