It’s the day job leaking into the escape I think :)

Physical cards are a nightmare. One reason I like Apple Pay. It generates a new card number for every transaction basically. Zero chance of reusing any snatched data right up until the bank. Plus you can’t just grab someone’s handset and use it. The biggest security risks these days are with the merchant and vendor.  Look at ticketmaster recently.

I saw a couple of mentions of this coupon, but I guess it was a short-lived promo as I never saw it. Do update us on the outcome of your DMM score.

Anyway, about a year ago I had an unauthorized use of one of my credit cards. It was a card that I hadn't used in probably 4 years and it wasn't even in my physical possession. It was locked in a strong box. The bank flagged it and asked me if I'd used the card in Las Vegas. Nope. Apparently the last time I used it that merchant had been hacked. Within days the charge was removed and a new card issued. I would have discovered it anyway because I ALWAYS check my accounts at least once a week for this very kind of stuff.

So many businesses are still in the dark ages when it comes to security. It both shocks and scares me.

Well I can't even pretend to understand what all security protocol chat is about but your Apple pay has me intrigued, why couldn't I for instance just grab your iphone and use that to pay for something? Its a contactless payment method isn't it?

I will never drink the apple juice....out of principle. In 1984 Apple trashed my employer with this commercial:



They have become 100x worse than IBM ever was. All those drones sitting there are the same drones lined up outside an Apple store for the privilege to buy a $900 I phone. You gotta be freaking crazy.
