Security researchers have discovered flaws that could allow hackers to bypass the UK contactless verification limit of £30 on Visa contactless cards. The researchers, from Positive Technologies, tested the attack with five major UK banks, successfully bypassing the UK’s £30 limit (which is used to safeguard against fraudulent losses) on all tested Visa cards, irrespective of the card terminal. They also found that this attack is possible with cards and terminals outside of the UK.
