I put only localhost in mine... The target was an article about the insecurity of POS systems - nothing new really - in some cases the person behind you in line can print out a duplicate reciept (yours) by just knowing the hotkey combination. The *other* meaning of POS was not lost on me either. :o)

What - is that the worst they can do? Why is it useful to have a duplicate of someone else's reciept?

No. > Why is it useful to have a duplicate of someone else's reciept? That depends on what information is on the receipt. I ran across this whitepaper while researching after the company I work for had their system compromised (even though they met the security requirements in place at that time). 4.2 million credit and debit card numbers may have been compromised, I just wanted to know more about how the system was meant to work. This paper is about the vulnerabilities in the system. http://www.hackerfactor.com/papers/cc-pos-20.pdf |
