Reports emerged last month that President-elect Donald Trump was looking for ways to get tougher on cyber attackers. Rep. Mike Walz of Florida, Trump's pick to serve as national security adviser, told CBS News in March that the government needs to stop focusing so much on beefing up cyber defenses and instead go on the offensive. "We need to go on offense and start imposing higher costs and consequences on private actors and nation-state actors who continue to steal our data and continue to spy on us," Walz said.
Walz added that hackers are essentially placing cyber time switzerland consumer email list bombs on our infrastructure, water systems, power grids and even ports. The development of digital wallets has achieved some important milestones so far. Its early history dates back to Alipay's debut in China and later Africa - the launch of Google Wallet, which allowed users to store card information and make payments using their phones.
Starbucks followed suit and launched a mobile app that same year, adding order-ahead mobile ordering and payment capabilities. More than two decades later, digital wallets are now making great strides. The monthly report Digital Wallets Beyond Transactions, produced by Wallet, shows that digital wallets are growing in popularity globally, with more than 50% of consumers accepting digital wallets in the markets surveyed: Brazil, France, Germany, the United States and the United States.
