Sure will -

plus now all the criminal needs to do is place cameras in retail place to get the pin number

Also the retail assistants are now able to see the pin numbers while the customer punches them in at the till!

I shopped at a number of places and the screen guards are not in place or the key pads are placed flat on the retail counter.

Someone needs to investigate how wide spread this activity is

Banks need to follow through the installation of the key pads to make sure that the customer feels secure to actually use the pin number - I can tell you I never did and was happier signing for all my purchases - ok I agree the pin & chip makes the process much faster but it is not safer in the current setup
