Pay-At-The-Pump Skimming on the Rise
Bank Info Security reports institutions, customers are paying for lack of security on gas terminals. At a Shell station in Alachua, FL, last week, a service technician found a skimming device on a pay-at-the-pump terminal when he opened the machine for a routine maintenance check. This incident, the latest in a wave of such attacks, highlights two concerns: That skimming isn’t limited to ATMs, and that banking institutions and customers have yet another vulnerability to consider regarding payment card transactions.
