What about tap to pay? Is that more secure or more prone for scams

@IRLSuperb Месяц назад

Yes it’s more secure but the tap to pay can also be replicated. Just always make sure by grabbing everything to see if anything comes off.

@securitysocks Месяц назад

More secure. Tap to pay/NFC/Contsctless/Chip uses the EMV chip which calculates a single use authentication code for each transaction, so copying this doesn't authorize any other transactions unlike existing magnetic stripe which is fixed information of all the card information and simply skimmed & re-used. EMV isn't impossible to hack but extremely expensive and difficult so not really seen, magnetic stripe skimmers are much much cheaper and easily bought online. I use a mobile wallet since they are even more secure, requires unlocking the mobile wallet (password pin or biometrics) & a virtual card number is used that only allows for EMV payments unlike a normal card that still can transact with its number online or with swipe. Lots of EMV cards still have stripe so social engineering like disabling or dirtying tap to pay or the terminal just not having contactless/EMV/tap to pay, so you use swipe on a skimmer-installed terminal which is again copied. Gas stations, Walmart, convenience stores.

@kryptosuperdoggaming Месяц назад

I use tap pay every time I make a purchase. Instead of using my wallet, I just use my Apple Watch to make my purchases too easy.

@securitysocks Месяц назад

And critically ATMs debit/atm/EBT cards if skimmed means funds being directly drained, so your money is gone/frozen while fraud investigation happens unlike a credit card. Should always use ATMs inside a bank, preferably line of sight to employees & inspect for any skimmers: anything in the slot, any loose panels, anything on pin pad, or anything out of place like dirt on all but one clean machine, enticing you to use the skimmer installed one.

Do not use debit cards outside of ATMs physically inside banks. Credit cards offer significantly more fraud protection for you by law.

Florida used to inspect gas pumps and put a seal over the lock so you could see if the seal was unbroken, nothing had been placed inside. Governor Ron DeSantis cancelled the program. If you vacation in Florida, go inside and pay cash, gas pumps are not safe here and the card reader on the counter may have a skimmer stuck over the reader.

I believe some of these stores are complicit in this. If you're at the register how do you not see someone adding something or tampering with the card reader, how are you that busy? Especially the outside gas stations. The way that agent opened that machine up how do employees not see that? Tips: 1. Keep your debit cards/ebt/credit cards locked at ALL times. 2. When using your debit card use it as credit to prevent the pin being exposed. 3. Most ebt card platforms have the ability to lock or freeze your card, block out of state transactions and online purchases. 4. If you receive Ebt benefits change your pin the night before your benefits hit. That way if your card has been compromised the scammers have the card number but no PIN number.

@GNX157 Месяц назад

Just make sure if you use Tap at a bank atm for a withdrawal, that you close or official end the transaction after getting your money. There, they use a mini camera under the keypad shroud and get your PIN, and then (unless and until it’s changed), if you did the card tap way, the screen stays open and asks if you want another transaction, but doesn’t make you enter your PIN again, and the scammer will be there and come right up behind you and make a withdrawal. So always make sure to end the transaction.

Finally, something positive about being broke... cant skim me when I have a negative balance.

I have brought to the attention of managers - devices that looked odd, and each time they act as though its an inconvenience not to be troubled with.

Don't use small stores to buy food. Just use the large grocery stores and you won't have any problems.

Why don't they do a trap card, scan it n trace where it goes

The atms in my school campus has been replaced by flat panels without seam or break. It’s just 1 whole sheet with touchscreen. There’s nothing you can poke or glue as they found a lot of skimmers last year.

Every manager at every business that has a card reader MUST start checking the machines every day at the start of the business day AND the end.

Always check before paying with your card.

NEVER use your debit card for purchases!!! Get a no fee credit card, and use that for all purchases. Pay the statement balance IN FULL every month to avoid paying interest. By law, you are not liable for fraudulent credit card purchases.

They should just go to NY 7-11s. Don’t forget to check that atm at the back there.

Its sad because on one has the time or the know how of what to check for

At our local bank they removed a skimmer, it was back three days later.

I only use the NFC function of my cards now, or use my phone to buy gasoline.

@MichaelMonsanto 28 дней назад

Or install a sensor that’s beeps loud when the pump is moved beyond a certain level. And makes a huge scene while it’s triggered. That’ll stop em

@b.l.8611 Месяц назад

Gas station owners should go out to the pumps periodically and make sure that nothing is on their card readers.

You can buy a SKIM REAPER or HUNTER CAT device that detects a skimmer at pumps, ATMs , etc. Make sure your wallet has an RFID protector. People can steal your information standing next to you

@pathfinder3175 28 дней назад

Tap to pay is way less secure. It's RF and any directional antenna pointed at the tap to pay can pick it up a quarter mile away.

@techrescuestl 28 дней назад

It's not an ATM. It's not a "credit card machine", it's a gas pump. A GAS PUMP. Do you not see that? You're calling things "card machine", while what everyone else is looking at is a GASOLINE PUMP.
