News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I'm sure you were one of the ones that made covid last a lot longer than it should have. All I'm saying is that when the next crisis happens (most likely a climate crisis because that isn't resolving on it's own) there are going to be people out there saying it is a government conspiracy. The crisis won't get resolved if 50% of the people don't comply to common sense solutions (in the case of covid it was simply to wear a mask and get vaccinated but the climate crisis will likely mean even deeper sacrifices). Doing it through your wallet is the best way to get people to comply.
I can't wait for my bank to implement fednow. Faster transactions and the social credit are huge plusses IMHO. Hopefully, people will start to take climate change and other crises more seriously (eg covid) and think twice before they spout out disinformation about the vaccine, etc. Fednow has massive potential to ensure this happens.

Saying they suffer is a bit much. At best they get to collect their fee if there never ends up being a chargeback. If there is a chargeback they don't have to pay the chargeback fee. Sounds like it is an overall win for them to let these slide through.

I have another post they commented on. They can see my historical posts.

I'm just wondering why I have to post here to get your attention on this?

Stripe indicated to me they put in a captcha on their end

It has nothing to do with our website. The card testing happens outside our website.

I'll check them out.

Does Square do subscription pricing? I don't see that on their website.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Stripe?

I posted a few months ago how our Stripe account is a victim of card testing attacks (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35682534)At that point, I was frustrated that they wouldn't address the situation. I had contacted customer support numerous times only to be put on the back burner. It was only after that post that Stripe reached out to me and the problem seemed to damp down for a little...

You support proud boys?
They are using my predefined products/subscriptions and aren't creating their own.
They are using my subscriptions. They don't set their own price
Unfortunately, the attacks are happening completely outside of my website. The attacker is generating a Stripe Checkout page using my public key - which I have rotated several times. Implementing a captcha on my end won't work and I have no control over blocking IP addresses.

Ask HN: How do I stop card testing attacks on my Stripe account?

For the past several months I have been getting hit with several card testing attacks. I sell a product with a subscription (which is processed via Stripe). The problem is that everytime this occurs I have to manually go into my account and determine if it is a card testing attack and then if it is then I have to refund and block the payment. Not a big deal if it happens once or twice but has...
