Imagine your old, expired game card suddenly working again... but for a thief! That's kind of what's happening with some credit cards!

Hey, Zappi here with a super important tech update! You know how when a superhero's power runs out, they need to recharge? Or when your game token expires, you can't use it anymore? Well, credit cards are supposed to be like that too โ€“ once they expire, they're just plastic.

But guess what? Some super smart scientists from a place called the University of Massachusetts Amherst found a sneaky problem! They discovered a secret "loophole" that could make certain *expired* credit cards work again. It's like a zombie card that refuses to stay in the digital graveyard!
