General Hacker Stuff -Point of Sale and other exploits
IMHO Here's a link to a must see Defcon 24 video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV_0k9Fh590 Modern Magstripe hacking & more. They're using iron oxide not ammonium dichromate as I related in an earlier post but; refunding to a different credit card than the original one charged. Can't wait to see how this one turns out. Does everything old become new again and if so how quickly does that happen?

When it comes to computers I'm thinking somewhere between 5 and 10 years. In regards to a lot of other areas its seems like the head shift every 25 to 30 some years means that there is a lot of redoing because that research, from the early part of the previous cycle, has been forgotten! Regards Dee
Heading out on a trip a little while back we asked our credit card company if we needed to notify them. The response was we only needed to notify them if we were heading to the U.S. because it is just about the last place on earth that still uses magstripe credit cards. A guy I worked for years ago with seeing people with "will work for food" signs on the side of the road in California said. "America is a third world country. They just don't know it yet".

dude, you are soooo funny! I was so surprised to be able to pay with my mobile in Walmart (and even at Dollar Store etc) on my last trip to the US (so, it was almost like home (and I live in a small town in Africa, -here we cannot swipe either - you either have to have a smart phone or a chip card, etc) but, yeah, most people in the US still swipe.... maybe it is also the cost of re-issuing cards as every consumer seems to have at least 50 cards (I only have one) so I had "card envy" :) ymmv but Americans love swiping :) ac
