Of course this article is talking about NFC based tokens (which are much more secure) – Samsung Pay’s ability to simulate a credit card swipe is really the weakness I am concerned about as this essentially transmits credit card data in plain text and there is no way to limit the transition to one device – a credit card skimmer placed near the main credit card terminal could capture any card transmitted with MST.Originally shared by PhandroidSamsung Pay is not as secure as you would think
