Ditto. But it still got stolen. I tried to use Google Pay and it was rejected, so I switched to credit card and used mine.
The local bank came up good for me though. I had the $$ back in my account a day later.
Ug bad website stealing cc info
Actually, it was a gas station here in town. Several other folks I know had something similar happen over a few days, so let's just say I won't be going back there, lol.
How do you use Google pay at a gas station? I haven’t seen that before
If your phone supports NFC, you can use Google Pay as long as the card reader shows it. Unlock your phone and hold it up to the screen where indicated. As long as you have a credit card registered with Google Pay, you're good.
Yeah, should work the same as any other NFC payment with Google Pay.

OK, just like Apple pay.. yeah - I thought about it after I replied...
did your card run through a typical card reader? Assuming so - that place has been owned like the target hack.

Yeah, card went fine. That's exactly why I think they're the ones that got owned.

Except it was the inside card machine in this case, not the pump.

In this type of situation I only see the cashier as potentially being guilty if he was able to swipe the card without you seeing.
What at the changes he could attach a skimmer on an in store reader and you not notice? Unless they make them super tiny nowdays...

They make them to fit inside the card slot of a gas pump, I guarantee they can make a shell for card readers inside a gas station that look legit.

Krebs on Security had a series of articles on inside jobs IIRC.
There's plenty of inside jobs articles out there.
A micro-camera pointed at the PIN pad with the skimmer in the slot.
Manufacturers are getting better at protecting the slot, but no system is foolproof when someone can open the cover and plant the slider internally.

Skimmer fit inside anything. They put them inside ATMs. If they can put them there, anything in a store is way easier.

Maybe I'm really behind - the only skimmers I've heard about inside the ATMs actually go between the cables...
So sure, I guess they could do that on the ones in the store as well.

Krebs found the slot style skimmers in 2014! https://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/08/stealthy-razor-thin-atm-insert-skimmers/

Yeah, "Oh the humanity!".
The human person is not perfect.
The imperfect is not capable of building a perfect system.
Therefore, nothing is perfect.
Or something like that.
How often does that bubble need to get burst before folks take notice that there is nothing foolproof out there?
