Yep, but it is not any different compared to before. No system verified the signature, you can draw or sign anything you want, and the card went through every time just fine. With or without the signature is the same lol. And I have disputed many transactions with the card issuers, and they don't seem to care the signature either. Pin is a much safer security measure.
