Visa's move to protect your credit card
numbers was apparently pretty popular. How
do we know that? Well, it's coming to a bunch
of places that aren't adorned with the Apple
logo -- that's how. The company has
announced that "other leading device
manufacturers and technology companies" will
adopt Visa Token Service this year. What's
more, the company says it plans to use its
secure payment system (one that doesn't any
of your actual credit card info, but randomized
data) on Visa Checkout transactions online as
well. Even better? The outfit says that it
expects some of the biggest online retailers to
adopt VTS too. Oh, and banks and credit
unions in the Latin America, the Pacific region
of Asia and the United States are also
supposed to come on board with the tech in
2015. If that means less worrying after the
next inevitable data breach , hey alright!
