Chip & PIN

Cambridge University Professor of Security Engineering, Ross Anderson, points out that a very "interesting" court case about failures in the Chip & PIN system will be held later this month. It relates to phantom withdrawals from customer accounts.

Yokel hopes that you will spread the word as widely as you can; there are serious issues at stake here. The most serious issue is the extent to which your bank can abdicate its responsibility for the security of the money that you entrust to it; how much it can blame you for bank errors and for lack of bank security.
