So?
That's already a risk every time your card leaves your sight. The details on the strip aren't much more than what's on the front of the card. I know I had access to people's cards back when I worked retail. The store-copy of receipts had full card number, name, and expiration date. This device is the least of your security worries when it comes to a credit card.
- bmalicoat 17y agoNot sure how long ago you worked in retail (hopefully a long time ago) but that practice is now illegal under US Federal law. This isn't to refute your point since credit cards carry little risk, a lot less than carrying around cash anyway.
- cschneid 17y agoIs it? Interesting. It was 7 or 8 years ago now.
- qeorge 17y agoI agree, but technically this is not true: The details on the strip aren't much more than what's on the front of the card. The magnetic stripe gives you Track 2 data, which you can't read of the card without a machine.
