Wow, bonafide clickbait. Someone forgot the most important part of the write up where it's not really a problem in 2015:

"The French researchers write in their paper that EMVCo has since created new countermeasures to the vulnerabilities the fraudsters exploited and implemented them both in card readers and in banking networks. According to their paper, at least some chip-and-PIN card readers now send a command to verify a PIN before the user even enters it to check if the card responds with a spoofed “verified” signal. They also note that other protections have been added to the system at the network level, which they decline to detail for fear of tipping off criminals." - http://www.wired.com/2015/10/x-ray-scans-expose-an-ingenious-chip-and-pin-card-hack/
