54 <p>Banks are naturally unhappy about shouldering the cost for fraud, and use
55 various tricks to impose the costs on their customers without providing
56 adequate help to minimize fraud.<br>
57 With GNU Taler, cryptography ensures that identity theft and many related
58 types of fraud are no longer possible, allowing banks to offer customers
59 a payment experience where neither side needs to worry about fraud.

78 <h2>22-12-2015: Sicherheitsforscher hacken das EC-Bezahlsystem</h2>
79 <p>Security researchers found serious security flaws in the German &quot;electronic cash&quot; system
80 which enable criminals to withdraw funds from merchant accounts based on the information printed
81 on receipts and other information obtained from public sources or point-of-sales terminals purchased
82 online.<br>
83 The German &quot;electronic cash&quot; system is based on the &quot;Poseidon&quot; protocol, for
84 which there is no publicly accessible specification or reference implementation. This has allowed
85 such major security holes to persist for decades.

91 <h2>30-4-2015: 1970 Researchers Predicted Debit Cards Would be Great for Surveillance</h2>
92 <p>&quot;Suppose you were an advisor to the head of the KGB,
93 the Soviet Secret Police. Suppose you are given the
94 assignment of designing a system for the surveillance of all
95 citizens and visitors within the boundaries of the USSR. The
96 system is not to be too obtrusive or obvious. What would be
97 your decision?&quot;<br>
98 The think tank RAND essentially answered this question with

107 <p>Apple Pay may be easy to use, but the simplistic

130 <p>Merchants taking credit card data from customers now have to additionally
131 fear banks suing them for losses. It is not suggested that the merchant
132 in question was not in compliance with PCI DSS security audit procedures.<br>
133 With Taler, merchants never handle sensitive personal credit data, and
134 thus neither customers, exchanges nor governments would even have standing to
135 sue merchants in court. Thus, if a merchant system were to be compromised,
136 the damage would be limited to the merchant's own operations.

155 <h2>10-9-2014: PayPal accounts hacked with a click</h2>
156 <p>Yasser Ali reports a now patched vulnerability in PayPal that would
157 have allowed him to reset other user's passwords and take over their
158 accounts. This is unlikely to be the last vulnerability found in
159 account-based payment systems.<br>
160 In Taler, customers do not have accounts with usernames, passwords
161 or associated e-mail addresses. Instead, Taler uses reserves which
162 are represented by a private key on the owner's computer. Users
163 create a reserve by depositing currency at a Taler exchange, and can then
164 withdraw digital coins from that reserve using the respective private
165 key. There is no limit on the number of reserves a user can have, and
166 even hacking the Taler exchange would not provide an adversary with access to
167 user's reserves (as the Taler exchange does not have the private keys).
168 Stealing in Taler requires breaking into each customer's computer to
169 extract the reserve keys or the coins from the digital wallet.

174 <h2>13-11-2014: Visa and MasterCard's to move from passwords to biometrics</h2>
175 <p>Visa and MasterCard are planning to &quot;simplify hated verification
176 systems&quot; by moving from passwords to security codes on mobiles
177 and biometrics. Continuing their flawed insistence on verifying identity,
178 Visa and MasterCard will thus build a very personal picture of their
179 customers, from shopping habbits down to their cardiac rhythm.<br>
180 Taler does not require a customer's identity to verify a payment, as the
181 payment system cryptographically verifies the coins. Thus, Taler does
182 not have to intrude into any personal detail of a citizen's life, and
183 certainly not their private medical data.

188 <h2>15-9-2013: NSA follows the Money</h2>
189 <p>Despite the EU allowing the NSA access to financial transaction data to
190 track terrorists and organized crime, the NSA saw it necessary to
191 target international payment processors including SWIFT and Visa.
192 As terrorism and organized crime are covered by legal means, industrial
193 espionage to improve the US economy is the only remaining US national
194 interest within the NSA's mandate that would explain this illegal activity.<br>
195 With Taler, exchanges will only learn the value of a merchant's transactions,
196 not who paid or for what (governments may learn what was sold). Thus,
197 the Taler exchange is a significantly less interesting target for industrial
198 espionage.
