37、tion to ever larger hack attacksA A thin magnetic stripe (magstripe) is all that stands between your credit-card information and the bad guys. And theyve been working hard to break in. Thats why 2014 is shaping up as a major showdown: banks, law enforcement and technology companies are all trying to
38、 stop a network of hackers who are succeeding in stealing account numbers, names, email addresses and other crucial data used in identity theft. More than 100 million accounts at Target, Neiman Marcus and Michaels stores were affected in some way during the most recent attacks, starting last Novembe
39、r.B Swipe（刷卡）is the operative word: cards are increasingly vulnerable to attacks when you make purchases in a store. In several recent incidents, hackers have been able to obtain massive information of credit-, debit-（借记）or prepaid-card numbers using malware, i.e. malicious software, inserted secret
40、ly into the retailers point-of-sale systemthe checkout registers. Hackers then sold the data to a second group of criminals operating in shadowy comers of the web. Not long after, the stolen data was showing up on fake cards and being used for online purchases.C The solution could cost as little as
41、$2 extra for every piece of plastic issued. The fix is a security technology used heavily outside the U.S. While American credit cards use the 40-year-old magstripe technology to process transactions, much of the rest of the world uses smarter cards with a technology called EMV (short for Europay, M
42、asterCard, Visa) that employs a chip embedded in the card plus a customer PIN (personal identification number) to authenticate（验证）every transaction on the spot. If a purchaser fails to punch in the correct PIN at the checkout, the transaction gets rejected. (Online purchases can be made by setting u
43、p a separate transaction code.)D Why havent big banks adopted the more secure technology? When it comes to mailing out new credit cards, its all about relative costs, says David Robertson, who runs the Nihon Report, an industry newsletter: The cost of the card, putting the sticker on it, coding the
44、account number and expiration date, embossing（凸印）it, the small envelopall put together, you are in the dollar range. A chip-and-PIN card currently costs closer to $3, says Robertson, because of the price of chips. (Once large issuers convert together, the chip costs should drop.)E Multiply $3 by the
45、 more than 5 billion magstripe credit and prepaid cards in circulation in the U.S. Then consider that theres an estimated $12.4 billion in card fraud on a global basis says Robertson. With 44% of that in the U.S., American credit-card fraud amounts to about $5.5 billion annually. Card issuers have s
46、o far calculated that absorbing the liability for even big hacks like the Target one is still cheaper than replacing all that plastic.F That leaves American retailers pretty much alone the world over in relying on magstripe technology to charge purchasesand leaves consumers vulnerable. Each magstrip
47、e has three tracks of information, explains payments security expert Jeremy Gumbley, the chief technology officer of CreditCall, an electronic-payments company. The first and third are used by the bank or card issuer. Your vital account information lives on the second track, which hackers try to cap
48、ture. Malware is scanning through the memory in real time and looking for data, he says. It creates a text file that gets stolen.G Chip-and-PIN cards, by contrast, make fake cards or skimming impossible because the information that gets scanned is encrypted（加密）. The historical reason the U.S. has stuck with magstripe, ironically enough, is once superior technology. Our cheap, ultra-reliable wired networks made credit-card authentication over the phone frictionless. In
