You can see how easy it was with the right equipment. Take away the magnetic strip and make all cards chip read only and also the shop readers chip read only.Then it would be a lot safer. But that is years away. Until that time you have to be vigilant. I always cover the shop chip readers with my hand as I put in my code. And don't give your security info to anyone on the phone. Banks never ask for this info at all. Especially on the phone.

I do (or my wallet, coat, or anything I have).
How naive was that banking woman though?
