Hmm, I'm very surprised that magstripe readers don't have sensors that detect physical presence of a card, even to this date. But regardless, the main point for me was how trivially one could downgrade the security by setting the bit about Chip/PIN capability off.
- rplnt 11y agoI'm surprised magstripe readers still exist. I don't think I've used one in years. They are often there.. but I don't see their purpose. Last non-chip card I've seen was maybe 12 years ago.
