- JimmaDaRustla 12y agoEMV terminal certification must meet certain PCI standards for one thing. Not sure it would apply in this scenario, it does mention canadian cards affected, but I'm not sure if that's because it was on american machines. Secondly, if EMV was adopted in the USA, the stolen information would become useless because they wouldn't be able to use the data to produce fraudulent cards.
