WHY ARE MAGSTRIPE CARDS NO LONGER SECURE?

As magstripe technology has existed for so many years, the security is weak when compared with today’s modern technologies and cards can easily be copied by fraudsters and thieves. Because this is so easy to do, with readily made cloning tools available online, our experts no longer consider this technology secure.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR CARDS USE MAGSTRIPE TECHNOLOGY?

Magstripe cards are easy to identify, they have a black magnetic strip running along the edge of the card and when used they have to be physically swiped down a reader for the user to gain entry.
