Dexter’ virus targets point-of-sale terminals
Well ladies and gentlemen, they have broken the chain. POS's were one of the very few secure devices fraud perpetrators had difficulties breaking through. The perpetrator had to actually have the device in their hands and retrieve the data from it. But according to this article, they have found a way to get the data without the hassle of having the actual device. A virus will now do the job for them, so be diligent in using POS machines. Use cash if you can.Are we on the right track in becoming a cashless society and do we really want to do that?
