Visa Yanks PCI Approval from PIN Entry Kit
The Register reports Visa has withdrawn PCI certification from two older PIN entry devices from Ingenico following concern they are vulnerable to manipulation by cybercrooks. The development represents an apparent change of strategy from Visa, which has previously maintained that retailers who achieve and maintain PCI-compliance are protected against security breaches. The credit card giant has also been at pains to make sure that products that fail to reach PCI compliance do not make it into the public domain and are only circulated within the industry.
