bloomberg on supermicro: sky is falling

     Well,

     Once you get the Expiry Date (which is the most prevalent data that 
is not encoded with the CHD)

     CVV is only 3 digits, we saw ppl using parallelizing tactics to 
find the correct sequence using acquirers around the world.

     With the delays in the reporting pipeline, they have the time to 
completely abuse that CHD/Date/CVV before getting caught.

For chipless markets ( You know who you are )

     I'm way more worried about Pinpads carrying Track1+Track2 
unencrypted thru Serial, USB, Bluetooth, Wireless custom connection...

     ( I snooped Serial, USB, Bluetooth for a Pinpad PA-DSS project )

     And with the PA-DSS spec being dropped by 2020 it will become worst.
