Yeah it's odd to think not too long ago that's how credit cards were copied. The big slidy handle machine went ka-chunk! A faint imagine from physically rubbing

Yeah it's odd to think not too long ago that's how credit cards were copied. The big slidy handle machine went ka-chunk! A faint imagine from physically rubbing against your card with carbon paper was legit way to do it.
- pluma 9y agoI always thought those were what Americans meant when they said their credit cards used magnet stripes because credit cards were rare and my country had already moved past magnet stripes when I saw the machines in American movies as a child. Using physical imprints seems like an obvious recipe for fraud, even more than magnet stripes (which already seem reckless compared to chips).
