Shopping Online
Do you prefer to shop online or in the store? Which do you think is safer to do? It’s just easier for hackers to profit by stealing information linked to
credit cards swiped in physical stores, he said. Such data can be used
to make counterfeit cards and presents fewer obstacles for thieves than
information stolen from online shoppers. This is not to say that software development for the stealing of card online is not constantly expanding and evolving. More information is actually given when someone swipes the magnetic strip in a store than just by the number online. Of course there are also experts that claim that in store shopping is not more dangerous. By 2015, all retailers and and even banks will be required to use the chip and pin cards that use an embedded chip in the card as well as a pin to make any transactions. And now we have mobile payments thrown into the picture. I guess we will have to see which way payments will evolve.

I think I do both equally. I am leery of shopping using mobile applications though.
ReplyDeleteWith the security issues still, I think people are leery to be shopping using their mobile applications. It might soon become the morn though.
ReplyDeleteThere are other ways that you can pay for things on mobile applications. I think the trend will pick up more.
ReplyDeleteShopping using mobile applications should stay hard to use so that it is harder to spend that money. You will find that using cash will help curb spending.
