Default ATM Skimmers - 02-19-2011, 04:34 AM

I came across this news article today, and since it's the first time I've ever seen anything like this I thought I'd share. Apparently they have authentic looking covers now that fit over Credit and Bank card slots at Gas Pumps and ATM machines. If you slide your card into the device, it will record your magnetic strip and a small hidden camera will tape what your pin number is.

Here are a couple articles that include pics. Most of these devices are so well designed I probably wouldn't notice unless I was actively looking for it

Old news. ATM machines have been victim to those for a long time.

Maybe so, but I don't normally watch television or read the newspaper since I'm a habitual Otaku who only lurks on anime, game, and porn sites.

If that's the case then you're probably not out using an ATM machine anyways.

I don't have any plastic so I don't worry about stuff like this. Debit cards are the worst thing a person can use when it comes to fraud.

Unless you're like me and perputually broke. They can't steal what I don't have. HA!
