辟谣:被人挟持时倒转提款机密码输入无效
http://hk.knowledge.yahoo.com/question/?qid=7006121901563
Commentary:
This email forward claims that if criminals forced you to withdraw money fro
m an ATM, entering your PIN in reverse will automatically alert police.
The technology that makes this possible does exist. However, so far, banks h
ave not implemented it. Thus, if you are forced to withdraw money against yo
ur will, the chance that the ATM will have the reverse pin technology instal
led is exceptionally slim.
Back in 1994, Joseph Zingher from Chicago began developing ATM software that
would silently call police if a PIN was entered in reverse. Since then, Zin
gher has spent years trying to sell the idea to banks in the United States w
ithout success. Several US states have explored the idea, but it is yet to b
e implemented. In 2004, the US state of Illinois passed legislation requesti
ng that banks install reverse-pin safety technology in their ATMs. However,
banks were not legally required to do so, and have so far displayed little i
nterest in using the system.
Zingher and others continue to push for the implementation of reverse pin or
similar consumer safety systems at ATMs. The concept is sound, and such tec
hnology could certainly increase ATM security, discourage forced withdrawal
crime and possibly even save lives, if it was widely used. In an increasingl
y security conscious consumer market, it may not be too long before banks de
cide that such technology is financially viable or legislation forces them t
o act.
Until then however, forwarding this message is ill advised. Since it is extr
emely unlikely to work, the "advice&;quot; in this message could actually be
dangerous. Forcing a victim to withdraw money from an ATM is a high-risk, v
iolent crime. If a victim enters a reverse pin at an ATM that does not have
the safety pin system installed, he or she will receive an error message and
no money will be dispensed. This delay could antagonize the criminal and in
crease the risk of violent retaliation.
Moreover, if banks were to install a safety PIN system, they would provide i
nformation to their customers explaining the new system and how to use it. T
he message claims that the system is seldom used because "people don't know
it exists". However, it is absurd to suggest that a bank would go to the con
siderable expense of implementing a safety PIN system and then not bother to
tell their customers about it.
The message mentions a "broadcast" as the source of the information
. This may refer to a September 2006 WOAI San Antonio News story on the subj
ect. The video cites the case of a San Antonio man who was forced to withdra
w money from several ATMs and explains the concept of reverse-pin technology
as a means of countering such crimes. However, the story very clearly state
s that such technology is not yet being used.
Thus, this message contains dangerous misinformation and it should not be fo
rwarded. If and when banks begin to install reverse pin technology at ATMs i
t is sure to be well publicized. If your own bank begins using such a system
, it will almost certainly let you know about it directly.
错了,单向加密,比如你输入1234,系统会用hash算法把你的密码转为密文存储;
取款的时候,你输入1234,系统同样把该算法对你的1234进行加密,然后和数据库里比较
实际上整个过程只有加密,没有解密
总结 倒转密码报警是假的 |
