In this thread there are two accounts describing how some banks require extra verification before their cards can be added to Apple Pay... and sombe banks don't.
Apparently, Apple gave the banks the hooks they needed to eliminate the type of fraud the article describes but they didn't do it.
How is this Apple's fault?
- baldfat 12y agoTo quote someone that the article links to: http://www.droplabs.co/?p=1231 http://www.droplabs.co/?p=1231 "Isn’t this a Bank problem? And don’t that absolve Apple and Networks of their responsibility in this? "It is unconscionable that Apple did not, and was not strongly advised by its partners – to make the Yellow Path implementation (by an issuer) mandatory sooner than it did – which was 4 weeks before AP launch. "
- crusso 12y ago"unconscionable" that banks should be expected to understand security well enough to know that not using any verification was stupid? It was mandatory 4 weeks before the launch, so it's been 6 months since then... and yet we're seeing how banks haven't bothered to fix it? I think Apple could have said something sooner, but in order to throw the word "unconscionable" around, I think that they would have to have done something deliberate or secretive. I view that 90% of this rests directly on the banks' shoulders for not implementing good security in the first place, then sitting on not implementing it for months.
