While adoption of the EMV payment standard in the US (as embodied in chipcards and panic at the checkout ) has been slow, fraudsters’ gravitation to card not present (CNP) fraud has been anything but. Two and a half years after the liability shift from issuers to merchants (i.e.,

When we hit that 75 percent and up level of chip readers out in the U.S.,
So, we all know this – chipcards were not going to fix the problem of fraud at the POS. And NCR researchers at the Black Hat conference this week confirmed that story when they presented a way for the bad guys to commit fraud using chipcards. Depends on who you ask. Unencrypted POS Data.
