| Definition |
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.

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.
