PIN use warning

[newhis]

I just saw a video that shows how easy is to get the PIN used.

I have a Mexican card with Chip & PIN since a few years ago and I use it all the time on my travels to Mexico. Is funny to see when the people give you the terminal to enter you PIN they look away to give you privacy and not steal your PIN (they will need to have a way to recreate the chip and I hope is not easy), but after watching this video I'll start pressing more buttons after the transaction. Another thing to watch for are security cameras, so is a good thing to try to block the keys and your finger movement so there is no way someone can guess your PIN.

Here is the video:

Yes always always finger over at least a few more buttons before u press enter.  Also helps to use repeating numbers in pins. 

Like 11-22-33, etc..

Thanks! for sharing.

I'm using a heavy glove from now on at the PIN enabled POS

Interesting. A good way to avoid that as well is to use the stylus attached to the terminal.
