WARNING: ATM Thieves Are Using These Sophisticated Devices



I don't know about you but I go everywhere with my bank and credit cards, using them both to get cash and for virtually every transaction. I am aware of ATMs being targeted by thieves but only when I saw this video and read the account of Benjamin Tedesco did it really hit home for me how at risk I am from cleverly hidden, devious technology designed to steal my hard earned money, and private credit card details.
Have a look at this short video of what Benjamin saw when he inspected an ATM while on a family holiday in Vienna, Austria:

 
What he managed to pull off, to the benefit of many future customers of that particular ATM, was a credit or debit card skimmer, which is designed to steal your cards. The device is an exact replica of the normal card slot found on an ATM, it has simply been glued over the top of the original 'hole in the wall.' Credit Card Skimmer This sophisticated device has a magnetic strip reader, battery, switch and control board. Quite satisfied with his discovery of this, Benjamin posted his video onto YouTube on 19th June 2016, and it became an instant viral hit with millions of views, and even a parody video. Credit Card Skimmer While watching the parody video, Benjamin noticed something else that he had missed. Just above the purple information card over the keypad there is a grey 'lip' that protrudes out. He realized that this was a secret camera, designed to record people's pin code inputs.
