A better credit card is the solution to ever larger hack attacks
A. A thin magnetic strip (magstripe) is all that stands between your credit-cardinformation and the bad guys. And they've been working hard to break in. That's why 2014 isshaping up as a major showdown: banks, law enforcement and technology companies are alltrying to stop a network of hackers who are succeeding in stealing account numbers, names,email addresses and other crucial data used in identity theft. More than 100 million accountsat Target, Neiman Marcus and Michaels stores were affected in some way during the mostrecent attacks, starting last November.
B. Swipe (刷卡 ) is the operative word: cards are increasingly vulnerable to attacks whenyou make purchases in a store. In several recent incidents, hackers have been able to obtainmassive information of credit-, debit- (借记) or prepaid-card numbers using malware, i.e.malicious software, inserted secretly into the retailers' point-of-sale system--the checkoutregisters. Hackers then sold the data to a second group of criminals operating in shadowycorners of the web. Not long after, the stolen data was showing up on fake cards and beingused for online purchases.
C. The solution could cost as little as $2 extra for every piece of plastic issued. The fix is asecurity technology used heavily outside the US. While American credit cards use the 40-year-old magstripe technology to process transactions, much of the rest of the world uses smartercards with a technology called EMV (short for Europay, MasterCard, VisA. that employs a chipembedded in the card plus a customer PIN (personal identification number~ to authenticate(验证) every transaction on the spot. If a purchaser fails to punch in the correct PIN at thecheckout, the transaction gets rejected. (Online purchases can be made by setting up aseparate transaction code. )
D. Why haven't big banks adopted the more secure technology? When it comes to mailingout new credit cards, it's all about relative costs, says David Robertson, who runs the NilsonReport, an industry newsletter. "The cost of the card, putting the sticker on it, coding theaccount number and expiration date, embossing (凸印) it, the small envelope--all put together,you're in the dollar range." A chip- and.PrN card currently costs closer to$3,saysRobertson,because of the price of chips.(Once large issuers convert together,the chipcosts should drop.)
E. Multiply S3 by the more than 5 billion magstripe credit and prepaid cards in circulationin the US. Then consider that there’s an estimated$12.4 billion in card fraud on a globalbasis,says Robertson. With 44eo of that in the US,American credit.card fraud amounts toabout$5.5 billion annually.Card issuers have so far calculated that absorbing the liability foreven big hacks like the Target one is still cheaper than replacing all that plastic.
F. That leaves American retailers pretty much alone the world over in relying on magstripetechnology to charge purchases--and leaves consumers vulnerable.Each magstripe has threetracks of information, explains payments security expert Jeremy Gumbley,the chieftechnology officer of CreditCall,an electronic.payments company.The first and third are usedby the bank or card issuer.Your vital account information lives on the second track,whichhackers try to capture.“Malware is scanning through the memory in real time and looking fordata.”he says.“It creates a text file that gets stolen.’’
G. Chip-and—PIN cards,by contrast,make fake cards or skimming impossible becausethe information that gets scanned is encrypted(加密).The historical reason the US has stuck with mag stripe, ironically enough.is once superior technology.Our cheap,ultra·reliable wired networks made credit- card authentication over the phone frictionless.In France,cardcompanies created EMV in part because the telephone monopoly was so maddeninglyinefficient and expensive.The EMV solution allowed transactions to be verified locally andsecurely.
H. Some big banks,like Wells Far90,are now offering to convert your magstripe card to achip—and-PIN model.(It’s actually a hybrid(混合体)that will still have a magstripe,since mostUS merchants don’t have EMV terminals.)Should you take them up on it?If you travelinternationally,the answer is yes.
I. Keep in mind,t00,that credit cards typically have better liability protection than debitcards.If someone uses your credit card fraudulently(欺诈性地),it's the issuer ormerchant,not you,that takes the hit.Debit cards have different liability limits depending onthe bank and the events surrounding any fraud.“If
