WARNING: How Hackers Are Obtaining Your Credit Card Information
These are the common ways hackers are obtaining your information.
Skimmers are plastic devices that fit over the top of an ATM’s card acceptance slot. The electronic components within the device steal the information that’s stored in the stripe on the back of your card. Often times, there’s also a hidden camera that allows hackers to capture video of you entering your PIN number.
Another device putting you at risk is the PIN pad overlay, which fits over the real PIN pad and records your PIN presses.
