It may be useful for the cardholder to become familiar with the methods of hacking a credit card only in order to prevent theft of funds from their own credit card in time.

Theft of funds from a credit card can occur in the event of a pin code breach. This is possible if the owner has lost the card or it was stolen. If the borrower promptly applies to the bank with a request to block access to funds, then this can save them from theft. Therefore, even if the attacker possesses the PIN code for the card, he will not be able to withdraw funds if it is blocked.

Hacking a credit card can be carried out if the fraudster managed to obtain information about the card number, which is written on its back. It is this code, as well as the personal data of the cardholder, that can provide him with the opportunity to use the card funds to pay for purchases on the Internet, since it is these data that are requested on sites that provide the ability to pay from the card. He can get information of interest to the attacker when accessing customer cards, for example, when working in a restaurant, salon, store, and such information can also be obtained through the site on which the card holder paid with his credit card and left the necessary information.

To prevent a credit card from being hacked, it is important to be very careful when paying for services and purchases on the Internet using a bank card. You can only trust trusted sites. In case of doubt, it is better to use the electronic payment system.

For greater reliability, according to the users of our site, you can use two cards, one of which a person will pay or use to withdraw cash, and the second will be designed for transactions only in a bank. Most banks are ready to provide two cards with one account.

Hacking a credit card is also possible when fraudsters create a copy of it. In this case, the attacker creates a duplicate card, learns the password for it and simply withdraws funds from any ATM. The creation of a copy becomes possible if a special reader - a skimmer - is installed on the ATM. In this case, you can get a pin code using a fake keyboard, installing a mini-camera or in another way. Scanning the card also makes it possible to hack it.

The vigilance and vigilance of the owner can help prevent the possibility of a credit card being hacked.
