You might want to read the article before commenting on it. This article is not about the fact losing money is a bigger blow when you're poor (although, that is obviously true). It is about the fact that the card type most used by them (EBT cards) do not have modern security features (most don't have a chip) and are difficult to reverse transactions on (unlike traditional credit cards which much stronger fraud protection).

- Mathiciann 4y agoOh come on you are just doubling down when you got called out not having read the article. I feel this title exactly describes the point it is trying to get across. What should the title have been then?
- abigail95 4y ago"Card skimming affects those most in need" is a tautology. EBT cards most vulnerable to fraud from skimming National EBT fraud costing $X/year We can reduce EBT fraud by changing the way California administers SNAP
- ungawatkt 4y agoAfter reading the article, something along the lines of "Insecure EBT cards and bad fraud detection leave the poor disproportionately vulnerable to card skimming". I too didn't read the title and jump directly to security issues in EBT cards, and also theres a whole import piece about officials saying"no fraud" and police not following up that isn't referenced in the original title.
