  1. It still makes me chuckle that when the card payment terminals in Japan show English, they say something like "Touch, Dip, or Swipe" - rather than "Touch, Insert, or Swipe" like the UK. #Japan #CardPayment #ChipAndPIN #ContactlessCards #NFC

    These benefits are distributed via debit cards - #EBTCards - that lack the basic security measures every other kind of card has had for years. They're simple magstripe cards, lacking basic #ChipAndPin defenses, to say nothing of contactless countermeasures.

    That means that fraudsters can - and do - install #skimmers in the point-of-sale terminals used by benefits recipients to withdraw their cash benefits, pay for food using #SNAP (AKA #FoodStamps), and receive other benefits.
