The chip and pin debate has been quite the topic of discussion in my house for the last two weeks as I searched for a new credit card that gave me that feature without charging me extra for it. It was frustrating and I was startled when one company explained to me that “those cards really aren’t any more secure than a regular credit card”.
Did they say why they are not secure?
