Re: (External):Re: Were you at SHARE in Seattle? Watch your credit card statements!
None of my cards has been chipified, surprising considering the size of the issuing institutions. I shopped yesterday at an upscale supermarket using my magstripe card. The clerk pointed out that the card machine included a chip reader but allowed that it had not yet been activated, so I would have had to swipe a chip card anyway. Bank of America offers an online service called ShopSafe, which will generate a fictitious number with user-specified expiration date and--most important--transaction limit. I almost always use this for online transactions, but it offers no solace for in-person use. Sort of reverses the popular view of relative security. . . .

It is all about managing perception, and people's perception is that online is riskier.

Best method for paying online I have found is using Paypal. On 22/11/15 17:57, Charles Mills wrote: It is all about managing perception, and people's perception is that online is riskier.
