| News Hound  |  Slashdot // New Identity Theft Technology Fails to Protect Nuclear Elephant writes "According to BBC News, identity thieves are quickly adapting to new technologies such as chip-and-pin credit cards using human nature tactics rather than cracking the technology. At least that's what Dr. Emily Finch (UEA), who interviews career criminals about their activities, claims. Finch swapped credit cards with a male coworker and performed a number of transactions without being challenged by cashiers. Finch also believes biometric identity cards will only exacerbate the problem. Regardless of which side of the fence you sit on, could this take us closer to embedded chips under the skin?"http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot?m=367 | |
