The image shows a multiple-choice question about the security risks associated with using a phone to tap at a payment terminal for a purchase. The question is: “Does this pose a security risk?” The options provided are:

Only if Beth does not have two-factor authentication enabled on her phone.

Yes, there is a risk that the signal could be intercepted and altered.

Only if Beth does not have the data on her phone encrypted.

No, there is no security risk associated with this.

The correct answer to this question is:

Yes, there is a risk that the signal could be intercepted and altered.

This is because when a phone is used to make a contactless payment, the information is transmitted wirelessly, and there is a potential risk that this signal could be intercepted by an unauthorized party. While encryption and other security measures can mitigate this risk, the possibility of interception still exists. Two-factor authentication and data encryption on the phone are important security measures, but they do not directly address the risk of signal interception during a contactless payment transaction.
