  • I just replied this to the parent comment.

    Furthermore even if a card is skimmed these days, at least in the UK, it’s still unlikely transactions would be processed online.

    That’s because it’s become so commonplace now for transactions to pop-up in the banks app on the owners phone and they must confirm the transaction and / or receive a code via SMS. Some just use SMS as a means to confirm a transaction.

    I guess one vector for attack still remains and that is SIM swapping, but even that is more difficult these days due to widespread awareness from carriers.

  • To paraphrase a Tupac poem:

    The sunflower that grew from concrete.

    The actual poem - The rose that grew from concrete.

    Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature’s law is wrong it learned to walk with out (sic) having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else cared.
