Illegal
copying of a bank card’s security and identification
data via a card reading device, coupled with PIN
misappropriation via shoulder surfing, miniature
camera, electronic recording or long-range surveillance
methods. The cardholder’s information is
then transferred onto another card, often a piece
of ‘virgin white plastic’ or other
readily available plastic i.e. mobile phone top-up
cards or supermarket loyalty cards. The counterfeit
card is then used, in conjunction with the corresponding
PIN, to withdraw funds at ATMs, usually where
there is no CCTV. |
| Major Types |
Hand-held
skimmers; ATM overlays; false card readers; modified
POS devices |
| GASA Security
Tips and Best Practices |
Hourly
checking of ATM interface; install skimming device
detectors; cardholder security education on PIN
protection; surveillance; defensible space and/or
ATM mirror to prevent shoulder surfing; CCTV to
capture images of fraudsters, especially out of
office hours when these crimes mostly take place. |
| Countermeasures |

TMD
developes the "CPK+", the ountermeasure
against skimming and Card trapping. A year after
the succesful introductions of the anti-skimming
device, the CPK, and in Q3 2005 the detection
device, the SDK, TMD will shortly introduce the
latest development, the CPK+. Based
on the already proven technique of both mentioned
devices the CPK+ offers a complete solution against
card-skimming and card- trapping (Lebanese loop) |
| |
This
new device, with taylor made alarm and signal
functions, has various variations that can be
installed on customers request. Of
course it also has the well known features like
easy installation, it fits in all ATM and SST
brands and again no software changes on the
ATM and SST is needed. The CPK+ is also ready
to protect ATM's and SST's with a Dip card reader,
as far as we are aware the first solution for
Dip card readers in te world. At this moment
the CPK+ is tested in various labaratory- and
also "live" environments and will
be lounched during the ATMIA conference in London,
UK on 17th and 18th October 2005.

THE
EVOLVING THREAT OF CARD SKIMMING |
| Definition |
Fraudsters
are changing their methods for card skimming.
This white paper deals with their methods and
how you can stop them. Detection works where prevention
fails... Everything we know about complex systems
tells us that we cannot find and fix every vulnerability. |

Security Tips and Best Practices |
Use
state of the art ATm's, Automatically monitor
Atm's, Physically monitor Atm's, Make cardholders
a line of defense, Accurately
maintain video footage, Check cardholders identities, Protect pin privacy, Protect
POS devices, Monitor POS devices, Protect network
security, Report suspicious incidents to card
issuers.

Card
Protection kit The CPK+ Card Protection
Kit is a 24 Hr 7 day a week Silent Invisible
Security Safeguard that guards your
ATM / SST units against fraudulent attacks
and activities By constantly emitting
a signal, which disrupts the skimmer,
it prevents successful reading of the
magnetic strip. The transmitter creates
a field around the card entry slot of
approximately 15 cm where it disables
the functionality of a skim device but
allowing the ATM / SST to operate normally.
Features - Proven CPK technology, Patented,
Skimming is not possible, Transmitter
is always on, No software adjustments
required, ATM / SST stay’s in
service during attack, No need for immediate
interference by Service provider, Not
visible from the outside
Easy installation, Installation time
25 minutes, Effective on any combination,
iron or plastic fascias, Fits in all
types/models of ATM / SST, Upgradeable
to any model 2.3.4.5 and 6, Contains
