Question

which types of devices are at risk of being hacked or exposing cardholder data? (select all that apply)

point of sale machines
radios
mobile devices
authorized transmission devices

Explanation:

• Point of Sale (POS) machines handle cardholder data during transactions, so they are at risk of hacking or data exposure.
• Mobile devices can store or transmit cardholder data (e.g., mobile payments), making them vulnerable.
• Authorized transmission devices that handle cardholder data (like those in payment processing networks) can be targeted. Radios typically don't handle cardholder data, so they are not at risk here.

Answer:

A. Point of Sale machines, C. Mobile Devices, D. Authorized transmission devices
