Just don't request a card reader and no payments can be made.

Just to add, for completeness: this is not strictly true (payments can be made using somebody else's card reader, it's not necessary to own one yourself). I think that's a low risk, though.

Oops, wrong: it's worse than that. The recent well-known "Chip and PIN" vulnerability applies to online use (google for "chip and pin broken"). It seems that could be fixed with a technical change in the future, but as far as I know that hasn't been done.

So, not nearly as low risk as I had thought, though I imagine that simpler attacks, such as finding out your birth date and mother's maiden name, are more common than this kind of thing (that may not last, though).
