  • I mean you could have posted it faster than writing whatever this wall of text is.

    Clearly you’ve never heard of a paragraph, yet you expect me to believe that you’ve superior research and analytical skills. Makes me wonder where you got your BSc.

    You wouldn’t know a medical journal if I balled one up and launched it at your Dunning-Kruger face ffs.

    Edit: Furthermore, it pisses me off when people say hurr durr look it up yourself, as it’s disingenuous really. If I had information that would be to the betterment of my fellow human and people didn’t believe me, I would share all I could with them. As to me helping others is what we should strive for, not just ugh this guy doesn’t understand so let’s alienate them even more.



  • I just replied this to the parent comment.

    Furthermore even if a card is skimmed these days, at least in the UK, it’s still unlikely transactions would be processed online.

    That’s because it’s become so commonplace now for transactions to pop-up in the banks app on the owners phone and they must confirm the transaction and / or receive a code via SMS. Some just use SMS as a means to confirm a transaction.

    I guess one vector for attack still remains and that is SIM swapping, but even that is more difficult these days due to widespread awareness from carriers.
