Hi mods, not sure where this fits forum wise, but everyone needs to know about this, and I know someone with one of these and they work..........so watch out everyone, the solution at the end of the video DOES work.

PI Number,

Sorry

Ha ha, yes you're technically right, but has anyone ever said 'Enter your PI number please'

They are less likely to rob someones bank card in a busy shopping centre as well. And by the time they've worked out the combo from the heat signature the person with the card could be long gone. They would also have to know which bank card the PIN was tied to but I guess they could use trial and error on that front. However, on that front the person who's just had their card stolen has already cancelled it with the bank whilst the thief: works pin out, works out which card (possibly), goes to use card.

Are you really that naive? If I were a crook (which I'm not!) I'd have an accomplice waiting near the tills just waiting for that moment the shopper is packing their new dress/shirt/etc into the bag, and putting away their wallet/purse all the time pre-occupied thinking about how they'll look in it tonight to notice a bump into someone and the purse/wallet gone.

We don't all live in rural England in utopia lol (not saying you do I've not looked)

I think the most important point here is that with every other scam/theft/fraud/etc the Bank will give you the money back normally. With this, it's your PIN that's been used and trying to get the money back from the Banks will prove virtually impossible!

Also thermal imaging equipment is an area where I imagine it would be pretty damn hard to come up with a 'home brew' solution unlike the card skimmers that are being installed in cash machines that are soldered together with bits from 'Bob's Electricals' down the road...

They're readily available from the Apple store here and you're good to go, and of course there's an 'app for that'

Yeah but how much longer once Apple realise that they could be used for this kind of attack. I know I might come across a bit naive but it's the same kind of guff that the Daily Express etc... pump out and has us all wearing tin foil hats over things that are unlikely to happen for fks sake (not directed at you OP just expressing my general annoyance at fear mongering used by the press)...

No offence taken, apparently there's a totally legit reason to have these for plumbers to look for leaks (why my mate has one)

Also, I'd bet that a good percentage of people have the same PIN for more than one card, meaning £500 a card!
