[QUOTE="notabot, post: 849650, member: 75970"] It's interesting, whenever I've come across hijacked ( or even hacked ) sites, it's always been a specialty/niche online retailer as well. For someone with safe browsing habits, specialty & niche retailers are probably the most risky sites they'll come across. You can do granular control on your card. E.g. you can block the card for online transactions but leave it working for chip & pin or contactless. You can also place location restrictions, that card point of use matches your location etc. I think it's great for travelling (super easy to convert FX, plus who trusts their card to agents a foreign country they've never visited before - with Revolut you disable right after use and re-enable on demand). It's also great for buying stuff online when the website is a niche one and cannot afford to hire Amazon's security team. I feel this approach is more practical than hoping for a suite to detect every possible card skimmer injection. [/QUOTE]
