I use contactless to get money out of the ATM. It looks like they'd get my PIN in this method but they can't replicate the card, then, right?

ATMs, ATM cards, banks and fiat currency are all obsolescent technologies.

Most technologies with a huge installed base are obsolete compared to the state of the art.

The larger the installed base, the higher the likelihood it is lagging behind the current patch revision.

Magstripes and internal combustion engine ground vehicles are probably the two biggest examples outside of sociology/government.

Gift economy and post-scarcity is where it's at.

Not a payment security expect, but based on my limited knowledge, the transaction is verified with the chip embedded in the card/device itself so I don't think that skimming devices like these can bypass NFC protections.

It's crazy how I never carry cash anymore. I can't even think of the last time I used an ATM. I often just leave the house with my phone and buy stuff with apple pay.

Also how is magnetic strip still a thing? I thought this was replaced with chip and tap years ago...

So glad almost 90% of the machines I use have this these days
