Letter to the Editor

November 29th, 2010 § 2 comments

Ara is a newborn (crossmedia) newspaper written in Catalan. Its first issue was published just yesterday. Interestingly it contained a letter to the editor about EMV cards in which a confused reader argued they were less secure than magnetic stripe cards!

As a ENISA Awareness Raising (AR) Community expert, I couldn’t leave this poor citizen in such a misconception. ;)

This is my response to this reader (in Catalan) which was published just today, in the second issue of Ara.

    Realment hi ha molta desconfiança al voltant de les targetes electròniques, i més encara si són RFID. Has de pensar que hi ha gent que pensa que els satèl·lits poden escanejar-les.

    Crec que és el nostre deure, o hauria de ser-ho, fer bona pedagogia sobre aquests assumptes. Aquesta carta n’és un bon exemple!

    Joan.

    Joan, tens moltíssima raó. I de vegades els que ens dediquem a la seguretat fem més mal que bé. Sobretot en vendre productes: moltes vegades s’utilitza la por per fer-ho!
