And so it has started…

In a Swedish article today they describe a case of skimming at an unmanned gas station. This has become rather common nowadays with new cases found weekly. This is just in line with my previous posting on the subject. One would suspect that more of the oil companies would have updated their payment systems but sadly not. In some cases it boils down to bad internet connection, cost of authorizing every transaction and the cost of new technology but sadly in many cases it is all a matter of the cost of upgrading versus the costs for fraud. PCI DSS fines are rising. I wonder when the oil industry will be hit by VISA/MasterCard.
