After Rewrites, Google Wallet Still Has Holes
itwbennett writes "A report from viaForensics makes clear that, despite efforts by Google to tighten up security after a poor evaluation in December, Google Wallet still stores data in too many places and could make it available too easily to be a secure way to make purchases using smartphones."
If you don't like it, why are you still here? I may not agree with Slashdot's spin on many stories, but it's still a great aggregation site and the commentary is pretty good if you ignore all of the morons like you. The ability to form your own opinion and present it in a non-troll-like manner still seems to be valued here by a decent majority even if it goes against the prevailing bias.
I like this place for the discussion - not the news.
To offset political mods, replace Flamebait with Insightful.
You only get pro-Google
At least paste your tripe in an article that's actually pro google nitwit.
Their wallet, checkout, or whatever really does suck. Not just because of security, but because of serious difficulty to setup and use, lack of features, and essentially no help from google.
I have used google wallet, and I have used paypal. Paypal is *far* superior.
I am far from a google hater. I even have some of those weenie google certs in analytics, and google apps. Sadly, Google merchant, and google wallet, are just not worth using.
Google is aware of the many problems with google apps, merchant, wallet, etc. But google only really cares about their bread-and-butter advertising business. Everything else is on a distant back burner. Google services, other than advertising, are things that google employees work on in their spare time - very low priority.
