Stealthy, Razor Thin Atm Insert Skimmers

An increasing number of ATM skimmers targeting banks and consumers appear to be of the razor-thin insert variety. These card-skimming devices are made to fit snugly and invisibly inside the throat of the card acceptance slot. Here’s a look at a stealthy new model of insert skimmer pulled from a cash machine in southern Europe just this past week.
The bank that shared these photos asked to remain anonymous, noting that the incident is still under investigation. But according to an executive at this financial institution, the skimmer below was discovered inside the ATM’s card slot by a bank technician after the ATM’s “fatal error” alarm was set off, warning that someone was likely tampering with the cash machine.

you can buy skimmers on ebay .. the MSR206 is a popular model

 

no shit! wow.

huh...how do you set/program where the skim goes?

 

that would be entirely up to the person using the skimmer to implement on their own. it would have have its own storage or else be connected to a local host in order to read/copy the data read from the magnetic strips of the cards. you could then modify the data and write the data to another card.

 

Gooberment is watching this thread....

 

Anyone wanna buy some anthrax?

 

if the g0v't wasn't paying attention to this thread they are now *_*

 

Hopefully they get the joke. :clown:

 

Yeah... It's the bomb.

 

Thanks I been putting it together for a while now.

Still require pin and maybe cv2

 

Which are all easily accessible via, IRC,TOR, Counterfeit.

This 'card skimmer' is a huge game changer.

 

need to look into how cv2 can be added after the event...
or how pin can be deduced aftet the skim is complete without a camera at the time.
or how some uber n00b haxor on irc will tell me any of that without direct involvement in the procedure.

i reckon there is a future in terminal coupling which will store the card/bank connection data in sync wiith even a basic skimmer.

maybe it just depends on what method the card would be used for.

 

i remember the old way of using playing cards and black electrical tape, worked every time
