REH From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Arthur Cordell Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 9:45 AM To: [email protected]; 'RE-DESIGNING WORK, INCOME DISTRIBUTION, EDUCATION' Subject: [Futurework] ATM Skimmers http://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/02/having-a-ball-with-atm-skimmers/ On February 8, 2009, a customer at an ATM at a Bank of America branch in Sun Valley, Calif., spotted something that didn't look quite right about the machine: A silver, plexiglass device had been attached to the ATM's card acceptance slot, in a bid to steal card data from unsuspecting ATM users. But the customer and the bank's employees initially overlooked a secondary fraud device that the unknown thief had left at the scene: A sophisticated, battery operated and motion activated camera designed to record victims entering their personal identification numbers at the ATM. The camera was discovered more than a day later by a maintenance worker who was servicing the ATM. The device, pictured below with the boxy housing in which it was discovered, was designed to fit into the corner of the ATM framework and painted to match.
