About a month or so ago the police arrested a gang that made a
sophisticated device to put on top of bank on the wall holes or however
you call them. You know, you push your car into a slot, you type your pin,
and you get your money. Well, the trick is to put a fake reader on top of
the legitimate reader so well designed that you don't notice. Plus, they
place a miniature web camera pointing at the keyboard to read your pin.
Later, they remove both and retrieve the data, or they already got the
data through a radio link. Later, they use the data to duplicate the
credit cards, and finally, they separate you from your money.
Well, this gang manufactured so good devices that they did an extra
business out of selling the devices... This is not SciFi, it is happening.
My father was stolen 1200 eur this way. And it is a sophisticated method.
