I just started working in IT security and learning more and more everyday.
I came across this article and figured everybody uses credit cards/debit cards...keep an eye out there when yall use it.


A KrebsOnSecurity story last month about credit card skimmers found in self-checkout lanes at some Walmart locations got picked up by quite a few publications. Since then I’ve heard from several readers who work at retailers that use hundreds of thousands of these Ingenico credit card terminals across their stores, and all wanted to know the same thing: How could they tell if their self-checkout lanes were compromised? This post provides a few pointers.

Happily, just days before my story point-of-sale vendor Ingenico produced a tutorial on how to spot a skimmer on self checkout lanes powered by Ingenico iSC250 card terminals. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that this report was widely disseminated, because I’m still getting questions from readers at retailers that use these devices.

Crazy right? My manager showed me this one...

After gaining Apple's initial approval for testing, the app was downloaded to an iPhone. Like Lau, hackers could now introduce the app to an iPhone through public USB chargers, disguised as a normal iPhone or iPad charger, connected to a hidden computer.

Lau says nothing will happen, as long as you don't unlock your password protected phone, while it's charging.

"If it's unlocked even for a second or less than a second, the attack commences," Lau pointed out.

What's the point of the chip on the card?

^^^^

With EMV cards, its more harder to counterfeit only cause the chip on the card has something called a cryptogram.
U swipe the card into a POS terminal, the cryptogram makes a unique "token" for each transaction you do, and sends the encrypted info to the bank.

But I'm sure hackers will catch up in due time and find a way to score there as well.
 
What I do and suggest, try to rip the card swiper part off before using.

them boys clever.
 
I don't use my debit card anymore, and I typically avoid it if the reader protrudes. Especially at gas stations and grocery stores. The chip is safe for now, as you don't swipe and it's encrypted, but I'm sure them boys cooking up something. Also avoid public WiFi.

We've started using this token method at my job to better secure credit card info on the incoming orders. We simply use the token ID now.

Turns out she was using publi wifi at a park or whatever and they took all her info right there as she was browsing the web. However Public wifi isnt okay UNLESS ITS SECURE!
