PayPal ad subtly criticizes Apple's security ahead of Apple Pay launch
PayPal is on the offensive, subtly attempting to discredit Apple's security ahead of the launch of the the company's recently announced Apple Pay mobile payment service. As noticed by Pando Daily, the full page ad appears in the The New York Times and hints at the recent celebrity selfie leak that initially was blamed on iCloud. The ad proclaims "We the people want our money safer than our selfies," with the tagline "PayPal protecting the people economy."
Apple is preparing to launch its mobile payment service in October and will allow iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners to use their phone to make payments at participating retailers. The service uses NFC for communication with point of sale units and Touch ID for security. Privacy, security and Apple Pay are hot topics with CEO Tim Cook appearing recently on the Charlie Rose show to talk about those issues and a wide variety of other topics.
