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.

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?

You’d have to steal fingers too and more recently the user’s head and their fingers. Plus five quick presses of the power button and it’ll lock up solid and shoot the encryption session in the Secure Enclave. Then you have to enter the 6 digit pin. Plus it’s a credit card anyway so you just charge back any stolen shit.

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.

AKA $25/month phone. Didn’t queue. Sat on butt and DPD chucked it over the back fence  :-//

TBH Apple were a joke until they landed with OSX and iOS etc. Totally different beast.

Edit: also trashing IBM has always been fun. Until they actually started doing it to themselves with Watson.
