- The next iPhone won’t have a hardware home button. C’mon…
- Jon walks us through his article on the hows and whys of credit card fraud (Jon’s article at Comparitech with skimmer pictures)
- There are some common ways that credit cards are stolen
- The credit card “dumps” are verified and sold on “carding” sites like McDumpals (thanks KrebsOnSecurity)
- There’s not much you can do to prevent it, but keep an eye on your transactions to discover “checker” transactions
- “Checker” services “check” if a card is still good. Usually by putting a small charge on each card to ensure it has not been cancelled
- Maybe copyright infringement will take down the whole black market credit card empire
- Europe has better pro-active credit card fraud prevention than North America
- The big challenge is that all the vendors are not onboard so it really doesn’t matter how stringent the issuers’ demands are
