Jack Spine writes "With nearly a billion users dependent on smart banking credit and debit cards, banks have refused liability for losses where an idenification number has been provided. But now, the process behind the majority of European credit and debit card transactions is fundamentally broken, according to researchers from Cambridge University. The researchers have demonstrated a man-in-the-middle attack which fooled a card reader into accepting a number of point-of-sale transactions, even though the cards were not properly authenticated. The researchers used off-the-shelf components (PDF), and a laptop running a Python script, to undermine the two-factor authentication process on European credit and debit cards, which is called Chip and PIN."pa href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/02/11/2129212/European-Credit-and-Debit-Card-Security-Broken?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=10/02/11/2129212"/a/ppa href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/02/11/2129212/European-Credit-and-Debit-Card-Security-Broken?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/E-XwdciHaYLJN7tQn_8o4VZNezY/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/E-XwdciHaYLJN7tQn_8o4VZNezY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/E-XwdciHaYLJN7tQn_8o4VZNezY/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/E-XwdciHaYLJN7tQn_8o4VZNezY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/sbHgSKKgnzw" height="1" width="1"/

An anonymous reader writes "Paypal has quietly killed the Paypal plugin and the related virtual-card service. The service generated on-the-fly, one-time-use credit card numbers. When I called in and inquired about the service, I was told that the service has been discontinued, but may be relaunching something similar depending on interest. They are treating inquiries as a sort of petition, taking down names and contact info. The forums seem to be a lost cause, as no Paypal reps have replied to the numerous posts regarding virtual cards being discontinued. Does anyone know of a good alternative source of one-time-use credit card numbers?"pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fyro.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F08%2F01%2F0311246%2FAlternatives-To-Paypals-Virtual-Credit-Card-Service" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Alternatives+To+Paypal's+Virtual+Credit+Card+Service%3F%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FbjiL7p" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/08/01/0311246/Alternatives-To-Paypals-Virtual-Credit-Card-Service?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1739310amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframe pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gqusKwazHlH4gijgfiBzv6_TUIY/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gqusKwazHlH4gijgfiBzv6_TUIY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gqusKwazHlH4gijgfiBzv6_TUIY/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gqusKwazHlH4gijgfiBzv6_TUIY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/JhzqvbsVZ38" height="1" width="1"/
