Turn your Iphone, Ipod, or Ipad into a skimmer...

Turn your Iphone, Ipod, or Ipad into a skimmer... security researchers from Aperture Labs in England recently demonstrated how they used the Square dongle and turned it into a skimmer that takes the card information, turns it into a sound wave, then converts the sound wave back into credit card numbers saved in on their device. Scary part- square dongles are free from the company and this Aperture Lab did this in an airport waiting for a plane.
