On March 16, UnionPay issued a statement, saying that it is rare to steal brushes from a long distance, and China UnionPay and commercial banks support full compensation for the risks of cardholders when they encounter stolen brushes. On the evening of March 16, unionpay official website issued a statement again, accepting the supervision opinions of March 15, and apologizing for the inconvenience caused to cardholders by previous work.
Exposing the bank card in the bag, the POS machine printed out the money.
On March 15 this year, UnionPay's flash payment function was named, and the possible risks behind its convenience were pointed out at the party.
First of all, this function is enabled by default, without the consent of the card issuer, and the bank staff did not notice the relevant risks during the handling process. The amount of confidential payment is 1 1,000 yuan, which is not low.
Secondly, when using the flash memory function, the effective distance between the card and the POS machine is 5cm, which makes it possible to steal the card from a distance. However, the grey transaction of buying and selling POS machines online has not been eliminated. That is to say, in theory, if your card is put in your pocket and bag, you risk being isolated.
The program shows that the POS machine purchased online is 5 cm away from the bank card, and the payment is successful.
Responding to UnionPay, stealing brushes from a distance is a rare case.
