Seriously, that is very scary. Title: Re: WI-FI Credit Card Fraud Post by: SUPERCOACH on August 04, 2013, 09:25:34 AM I've known about this for awhile. It is by far one of the stupidest ideas I've seen by the financial industry. Is it really that inconvenient to swipe your card?

Title: Re: WI-FI Credit Card Fraud Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on August 04, 2013, 03:51:57 PM Google was set to try to hoard in on the financial market with the Google Wallet based on Near Field Communication (NFC) capability in your cell phones. Many phones come equipped with the hardware for this now, but I don't know of a lot of applications currently using it.
The idea was to be able to "swipe" your smartphone near a reader and eliminate your debit card. It, of course, comes with some inherent security risks as well. |
