Practice Safe ATM Carding
The Consumerist has a post up warning about a new rash of ATM Card Skimming devices being installed into the wild. Apparently the devices are getting smaller and easier for just about anyone to use. Placed over the real ATM card reader slot, they are often used in conjunction with fake mirrors or brochure holders that have hidden cameras in them to record your fingers entering your PIN number…
Pay a little extra attention next time you use an ATM. That would also include gasoline pump card readers too I imagine. Photos of what the devices look like on The Consumerist website.
