6 Ways criminals 'hacks' into ATM

6 Ways criminals 'hacks' into ATM

1.Card skimmer
  These device are installed on the card reader slot to either copy the information from the  magnetic strip of your card or steal the card itself.

2.Bulky card slots
  Beware,if you think that the card slot feels  slightly bulky or misaligned,as there may be
chances that an additional card reader slot has been placed on top of the actual one.

3.Loose slot
 So, in case the slot appears wobbly or loose, it indicates the presence of a ‘Lebanese loop’, which is a small plastic device with a barb that holds your card back in the machine. You may think the machine has swallowed your card or it has been stuck.

4.False front
  It may be a little difficult to detect as the fake front completely covers the original machine because it is installed on top of it. This allows fraudsters to take your PIN as well as money.

5.Fake keypads
This is placed on top of the actual keypad. If the keypad feels spongy to touch or loose, don’t enter your PIN.

6.Hidden camera
Tiny, pinhole cameras may be placed on the machine or even the roof at strategic positions to capture your PIN.
