  Hi,u know those NETS Self-top up machine whereby u can just insert ur NETS card and then top up ur Ez-Link card instantly?

  Its not safe IMO btw,as the card PIN required for the transcation is not masked(***).That means anyone,and even those behind the glass can see the PIN of ur card!!!!The glass is useless coz its see through!

   

  And nowaday NETS are integrated into debit card so its already like a big risk of debit/credit card fraud since people can see ur PIN of the debit card.

  I already notified the CCK staff the other time where i noticed this but nothing have been done,proved by today.

   

  Whats ur view on this?

  post on strait times forum

  and said that u notified the staff but say like 2 years and nth has been done. then after u post that, they will respond say that they took notice of it etc.

  and next mth, system change, then u can write another post

  say that why must they wait until someone write it out in public before someone take action, why they nv take action when you told them personally.

   

  in singapore, nothing will be done until you shame the people in charge in public.

  Could it be a bug? You're talking about the purple top up machines right?

  Might just be an isolated bug of the CCK machine. Maybe u want to do a test on other machines elsewhere because from my memory it has always been masked.
