When your bank account is hacked, you can talk to the bank. But what if your bank is a prepaid Visa card for kids? Pickr calls into ABC Adelaide to explain what’s going on.
An Adelaide mum had a shock recently where a prepaid card for her kids saw its money taken. The service wasn’t quite a bank, but its cards can act like bank cards, and that means they’re susceptible to the same sort of attacks bank cards get, so what happened?
Pickr’s Leigh Stark joins ABC Adelaide Drive on June 13 for a quick chat about something called the “BIN attack”, and why it’s a risk worth paying attention to.
Tune into the segment from the 1 hour 2 minute mark (1.02) to hear what the BIN attack is, and how you can go on the defensive.
