which is slightly alarming to say the least. I'm now wondering if the information downloaded could be used to fill a new blank chipped card and that is worrying if they captured the pin somehow as well.
You seem to be putting a bit too much faith in chip and PIN. Chip and PIN has never been foolproof; no technology is fool proof it's merely about managing/reducing risk. Is chip and PIN better than standard credit cards or nothing? Yes, of course. Is it "hack proof?" Uh, no...

I don't think Apple Pay will be perfect, nor hack proof, but it is intriguing to me and honestly it does alleviate some elements of risk (e.g. giving other human beings my personal info). But certainly, it won't be perfect either.
