Prof. Farber:
The BBC is carrying a piece on a substantial failure of "the new,
more secure way to pay with credit or debit cards in the UK"(*). As
they say, "Shell has suspended chip-and-pin payments in 600 UK petrol
stations after more than [a million pounds] was siphoned out of
customers' accounts".
