New laws targeting criminals who skim credit and debit cards will be introduced in Queensland to target the growing problem of identity theft.
The Queensland police have charged two people for allegedly conducting a Nigerian scam operation as well as a further four people for using credit cards with skimmed data.
A mass card skimming attack on a Swedish IKEA store has highlighted the dangers Australian consumers face while banks and retailers fight it out over who foots the bill for chip and PIN.
Westpac Bank is set to improve its security credentials and tackle card swiping scams by issuing credit card holders with chip-embedded smartcards.
Westpac is considering additional security measures for its online banking system after a spate of security and availability dramas.
Does the improved credit card security offered by chip and PIN-embedded credit cards mean a future of greater personal liability?
