Purposely making worse software is not how you make friends.

US banks must think that their existing fraud prevention infrastructure is up to the task. (We had people fraudulently use our credit cards twice, and even though I check my CCs regularly, the banks contacted me both times within hours of the incidents.)

Anyway...
1) One of my CCs was just switched to Chip & PIN.
2) "Our new paper shows that it is possible to create clone chip cards which normal bank procedures will not be able to distinguish from the real card."
