Summary:

NCR has been made aware of intelligence from the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region which indicates that criminals have developed a method to install a Deep Insert Skimmer inside a motorized card reader such that it cannot be detected by the NCR APTRA platform software. NCR recommends using the Tamper Resistant Card Reader as the prevention mechanism for both Deep Insert Skimming and Eavesdropping Skimming techniques.

Last week FTSI was alerted to the fact that criminals are now using even more convincing ATM skimming device overlays to capture your log-in information. So far, 2 different ATMs have been hit with these new cameras and skimming devices. These pictures recovered by technicians show just how advanced they are in size and appearance.

FTSI has launched its “3 for 30 Webinar Series” with “From Scams to Skimming: Protecting Your ATMs.” This series bring 3 different expert speakers together for one presentation packed with actionable information.

Encryption technology is getting stronger every day and wider implementation of EMV is on the way, but in the meantime criminals are using skimming attacks to feast on vulnerable banks. And the damage worldwide is in the billions.
