Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I finally got a new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I'm now looking at getting a USB 3.0 hub with a power adapter so I can use both of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I've read lots of horror stories where some hubs either don't come with power adapters -- and as a consequence the portable drives don't work with them properly -- or they are designed poorly which results in USB 2.0 speeds. Or, the hard drives keep getting disconnected. Do your readers have any suggestions or experience using USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks!"
OK, let's estimate the actual risk.
1. Need a stolen card
2. Need a middle device and cables to be used
So if card is discontinued, it will not be authorized by the payment system. Necessity to have additional gear is also limiting the actual field risk.
It my understanding fake ATMs collecting pins and card data are still much more effective and dangerous then this issue.
The music is dramatic, true. The issue is not too much.
