Biometric Blockchain ATMs to Combat Dark Web Card Fraudulence

Dark web credit card duplicity has been on an exponential rise in recent times. This is because of the PIN system which has loopholes. In the past, the PIN system was considered to be the most secure system. However, with the inception of the dark web, the notion has changed.  Gemini Advisory reported last year that 60 million credit cards were compromised in the US over the year and sold on the dark web.

The objective of the true blockchain concept is to create information blocks in a cycle of the transactions, allow the third parties i.e. the crypto miners to verify the changes to the transactions or contract processes, and ultimately offer a rewards mechanism. Since blockchain is intrinsically linked to cryptocurrency speculation, corporates are overwhelmed to delink the technology from cryptocurrency. This way they are ruining the motive of a decentralized approach to verify transactions and enforce utmost transparency in contracts. According to the blockchain news in Hindi , the biggest instances of this phenomenon are Amazon Web Services (AWS) and IBM.
