This caught my attention. The tldr is iPhones with Visa cards enabled for transit are at risk of a mitm attack to steal unlimited money.
Visa says they know and don't care because it's too unlikely and they have zero liability policy. I dunno I'd still be stressed as it's going to take time arguing with a CSR because transaction goes through as if you face-id'd transaction.
Mastercard not vulnerable because they do extra encryption step and android not vulnerable.

@maleve And in my experience, those fraudulent charges always took enough time to sort out that I needed to pay my balance. As the video showed, that $10k charge would be serious money for most people to put up while awaiting resolution.
