Skimming knowledge

I work in a little business and I want to know what is it and how it works. To avoid this.

two kinds of skimming but both the same really
#1 attach a card reader to e.g. an atm, also something to read pin either a camera or fake pad on top of real pad. leave for a while to gather details. either someone comes back and removes it or because of the cost and tech maybe its wireless and just gets abandoned.
#2 customer pays by card, cashier takes card and swipes through a card reader at some point. normally banks advise never let anyone handle your card for this reason, you swipe it yourself.

check machines regularly for changes in appearance, fake panels containing skimmers look pretty good but usually come off pretty easily and are obvious because of the extra thickness etc.
much more difficult to stop your cashier cloning cards however the card companies can work out where its happening because the customer buys something at that terminal so they see everyone who got cloned shopped at x store and come fuck you. but you have to trust customers to be smart with handling their cards.

I think sopranos around season 6 had a few episodes about the second type and restaurant boy gets fucked.

I don't think there's any place that takes your card in hand anymore. All of them seem to be just a machine sitting on a counter now. Even the drive thrus here have a card machine to swipe (chipped cards only now.) Some places have a service for Apple phones, but I don't know about that.

My small garage still does. We really should upgrade but whatever, we're not cloning cards. Family run, customers return because they find us trustworthy (we lie sometimes but only to cover older brothers incompetence, not to profit since we still pay for it)

They aren't supposed to that's the point but it does happen occasionally if the desk is set up shitty.

I haven't been to a restaurant in a LONG time that didn't have wireless card machines brought to the table to hand to you. Screen prompts even say remove your card then return pad to operator.

Does America have contactless? It's default now in UK when you guys are just getting chip and pin lol. Drive thru they have the pin pad pin a long handle hold it to you or the window and you tap to pay.simples.

not a lot of banks support contactless i can think of any that do. the hardware has been around since like the early 2000s though.

i used to do qa testing on atms on pretty much every make and model. also atm manufacturers have new card reader bezels that detect when objects are placed over it, or vibration, or drilling and alert the bank its called anti skimming or sps

Depends on the type of restaurant you frequent I suppose.

>this guy has never been in a fucking American restaurant where there's a 50/50 chance you can just hand your card over to another human being without realizing it could be dangerous

No, and more of America is going to drop credit services because the major credit card companies are tacking even more fees onto the merchants

Yikes, the local chinese place I go to like 4 times a month always takes my card and does something behind the counter with it. Are they buying dogmeat on my dime?
