EMV technology encrypts the information stored on a card and uses a unique encryption key that is generated for each card-present transaction to prevent malicious actors from conducting other transactions even if the information stored on the chip is compromised.
This has made it impossible for fraudsters to create clones of EMV cards, as they have done with magnetic stripe cards, from which data can be easily obtained and encoded on a blank card.
