chip cards

471 views

Can someone explain to me how a really smart hacker hasn’t figured out a way to design a chip for a card like a prepaid visa that tells the machine reading it that it always has money on it? Sorry if this sounds silly but the chip cards have information on them can that information not be hacked or edited? Or can they not have a machine like the bank uses to program your card but program it to be unlimited?

Thanks.

The card doesn’t have any money on it.

A good analogy is that your bank card is the same as a vault key. It only opens your vault. It doesn’t matter if you engrave 1 million dollars on the side of your key it’s still opening a vault with only 10 bucks in it.
