Criminals could steal large amounts of money from people's pockets using a mobile phone, because of a glitch in Visa's contactless credit cards, researchers have said.

Thank you for sharing.

This from the News link ->

"But the scientists acknowledged they had not examined the security checks banks have in place."

"Visa said it would be "very difficult" to carry out such a theft in reality." .......... hopefully will mean such fraud is not common.

Another aspect of technology making our lives easier....and then...possibly opening the door to more fraud...:smileysad:
