And with speculation that Apple Pay is coming to the UK running high, are there new security concerns you should look our for?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>1) Apple Pay Security: Issues or\u00a0Intended?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apparently, Apple didn&#8217;t make a mistake earlier this year when\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/apple-pay-could-help-move-online-credit-card-fraud-into-physical-stores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple Pay potential security concerns emerged.<\/a>\u00a0The lapse in verification between Apple and Banks might not have been a flaw, but\u00a0instead planned to make sign-up as seamless and easy as possible. And it actually\u00a0makes a lot\u00a0sense when you think about it. As <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paymentssource.com\/news\/paythink\/apple-understands-security-can-not-trump-convenience-at-least-for-now-3021502-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZDNet quoted,<\/a>\u00a0&#8220;<em>Card issuers went so far as to green path Apple Pay accounts, meaning that no additional authentication was needed for an Apple Pay user to get their wallet up and running, other than measures built into the iPhone.<\/em>&#8221;<br \/>\nThis at first might seem like a major security risk, but it&#8217;s actually not so silly an idea. Convenience is still king. And when racing for adoption, you need to make your new services as convenient as possible &#8211; even if\u00a0that includes removing major bank authentication processes. So we would expect to see a similar security situation\u00a0when Apple Pay launches in the UK (predicted to be announced at WWDC later today). Let&#8217;s see how fraudsters deal with it, or Apple\/the banks deal with them.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>(SUN JUNE 7, 2015 &#8211; 8:30 PM PDT)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>1) Codename Proactive: Key Apple iOS Update?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Watch out Google Now.
