Hackers ανακάλυψαν νέο τρόπο να παραβιάζουν "ασφαλείς" πιστωτικές κάρτες. Οι πιστωτικές κάρτες με τεχνολογία chip-and-pin θεωρούνται σαν τη ασφαλέστερη λύση στις μαγνητικές κάρτες αυτή τη στιγμή. Ερευνητές απέδειξαν ότι δεν είναι και τόσο ασφαλείς όσο νομίζαμε μέχρι σήμερα.
The banks in the meantime they have changed the cards globally and using this technology, for safer Results. 
Hackers were able to use a chip-and-pin card to withdraw money from an ATM in less than 15 minutes. A team of Rapid7 researchers presented hack at Black Hat, a hacker conference in Las Vegas.
The hack requires a device skimming that interrupts the signal in between machineautomated teller machine (or POS) by facilitating a MITM (man-in-the-middle) attack once the card is inserted. The device allows hackers not only to recover the data from the card, but also to reproduce both the chip and the magnetic strip. Of course they also get the PIN as the victim types it. From there, the hackers download the stolen data and recreate the victim's card.
The cost of the attack? 2.000 dollars for the accessories they need.
Rapid7 hackers reported that they were able to pick up 50.000 dollars with a single takeover.
