It is less that cards don't have PINs for the chip, but that they still have magnetic stripes. It is still possible to skim the card info. I assume that there is mandate to update equipment but I still see registers with swipe. Issuers can distribute cards without magstripe in 2027. But they keep pushing the date out.
