Credit Card Chips Can Fall Out, Posing A Security Risk
>The I-Team uncovered a security problem with the chips added to credit and debit cards to keep consumers safer - they can fall out and put you at risk.
>The chips in credit and debit cards protect consumers from hackers, but the same technology could make you a victim of fraud. The chips can physically fall out of the cards and be used by criminals.
>Chip transactions take longer, but they make it harder for hackers to steal your account information stored on that plastic.
>"It's my security, I value my security," said Oliver Medina, consumer.
>But not many people know the chip in your card can fall out.
>"We certainly didn't know about it," said Sylvia Corona, consumer.
>"That's unbelievable. At the end of the day things are supposed to be more and more secure," said Frank Fortunato, consumer.
>"It's concerning, that shouldn't happen," Medina said.
>"They are on there pretty good, but a lot of wear and tear can cause issues with the underlying glue," said Shawn Kanady of Trustwave.
