- ceejayoz 7y agoNone of which saves you from a camera looking at the numbers on the card while you insert it.
- notatoad 7y agoThe camera is to record your PIN, which is only useful in conjunction with the magstripe data. A camera to record the numbers physically printed on the card isn't going to be super effective. Yeah, it might get a few, but probably not enough to be worthwhile.
- ceejayoz 7y agoThere's no reason a camera couldn't capture card number, expiration and CVV, especially if paired with a contact switch on a skimmer to trigger the photo. My iPhone happily lets me add a card by taking a picture of the card and OCRing it; my Discover card has number, expiration, and CVV all on the same side even.
