Surfshark, a provider of consumerantivirus,virtual private networkand other data privacy products, wanted to find out.
So it took over an upscale New York City coffee shop Thursday morning.
Food items like avocado toast or a quinoa salad cost them the security code off their credit card.
The information was written down on a card and handed to the cashier, who promptly shredded the card.
More privacy and security news
But those seemly harmless actions can have consequences down the road.
In either case, it chips away at what’s left of a person’s digital privacy.
“There were so many reactions,” Survila said toward the end of the event.
“Hopefully we made people think.”
Everyone else has it anyway."
It’s also important to note that Thursday’s exercise was about awareness, not actual data collection.
