    Skimming works because it attacks 1980s technology.

    Contactless is much more secure, given an extra 40 years of defending scams.

    Thinking of this as “just another attack vector” is laughably ignorant, really.

      I tend to view the finance industry as a bunch of skimmers. Funnel money through as many companies as possible so everyone gets a fee.

      I was not thinking of security at all.

        To be fair, I wasn’t expecting to hear that you were coming into a conversation about contactless payments, using a word like “skimming” and meaning something completely out-of-context.

        That’s a real doozie, yo.
