As Galloway pointed out in a conversation on Twitter with this reporter, card security codes (CSC, CVV, or CVC values printed on a card) should be unique per technology and should always be validated.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"media-source\">\n<div class=\"twitterContainer\" readability=\"6.6923076923077\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" readability=\"6.6923076923077\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The card security code (cvv etc) should actually be unique to the method: chip\/nfc\/mag stripe.

By not properly verifying security codes, this leaves the door open for carding gangs to continue to operate by copying and downgrading the newer EMV cards into magstripe clones to abuse overseas, in countries where magstripe cards are still accepted.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"media-source\">\n<div class=\"twitterContainer\" readability=\"7.1933962264151\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" readability=\"7.6729559748428\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Back in 2007, UK issued cards had an exact copy of the magstripe on the chip.
