Buy an ATM and go for it
Heard the story of criminals setting up their own ATM in town to get your card data and PIN number so they can plunder your account? It happened (and not just once). Experts call it a “Ghost ATM”. It is (too?) easy to buy an ATM, place it somewhere and wait for people to use it. Read the funny blogpost “I Bought an ATM off Craigslist for $750 w/1000 CC#s on it. Yup.”. After playing with the second hand ATM, it was uncovered that it still contained data of thousands of cards.
By the way: hackers seems to be a bit more alert on fake ATM’s. They quickly discovered a fake ATM setup while having their annual hackers meeting. Who still falls for the fake ATM scam? More people than you would think…
