1. Magnetic stripe card is easy to write the card

After knowing the magnetic stripe card number, it is particularly easy to copy this card because the magnetic stripe card is characterized by the use of the combination of magnetic channels for sorting. Just give the magnetic stripe a specific frequency, it can be combined into different card numbers. Simply put, as long as there is a magnetic machine, you can write information on the magnetic stripe. For example, if you know a bank card number, then write a card number in it that is the same as the banks. ATM machines can also recognize the card number.

2. magnetic stripe card card number shows clearly

Many people may know that magnetic stripe cards are easy to copy, but few people know how to copy and what is the basis of copying. I can reveal to you here that first of all, when the card swipe machine swipes the card, the magnetic stripe card will display a clear row of card numbers. At present, the magnetic stripe swiper can recognize the second track, you just need to swipe on the text box, the information written in the magnetic stripe will be presented.

3. Magnetic stripe cards are easy to demagnetize

It is well known that magnetic stripe cards do not work when used suddenly. This is because in a particular environment, the magnetic stripe itself is disrupted due to external factors. The magnetic stripe order is disrupted and cannot form a valid message and therefore cannot be recognized by the card swiper, which is a very important reason. You can also see how to prevent demagnetization

Therefore, the magnetic stripe card is far less secure than the smart IC This is why the magnetic stripe card is not as secure as the smart IC card.
