ATM – card skimming and thermal imaging

ATMs are a popular target for scammers and fraudsters, with multiple methods of attack used to steal banking information.

Advanced card skimming devices, which are thin enough to fit into any ATM slot, allow criminals to clone bank cards when a customer draws money from the machine.

These devices are usually used in conjunction with a small camera, which records a user’s PIN entry.

Thermal imaging technology can also be used to discover a user’s PIN – and all the criminal needs is a smartphone with a thermal imaging attachment.

Users leave behind a thermal signature when pressing ATM buttons, and criminals can use a smartphone with a FLIR ONE thermal imaging attachment to figure out a user’s PIN.

Beware of Bank phishing emails

Standard Bank phishing email

Bank phishing emails are widespread in South Africa, with criminals posing as bank employees in an attempt to gain access to a victim’s account.

The phishing emails typically contain a threat or a promise – such as: “Click here to reactivate your online banking”, or “You have a pending payment waiting, click here to access it”.

The emails may also come from an ostensibly-legitimate email address – “[email protected]” – and look like an official communication from the bank the victim is a customer of.

Clicking on a link in these emails may install malware on a victim’s PC, or take them to a fake banking website – which will capture their bank account details when entered.

Once a victim’s bank account has been accessed, money is paid out to an account set up by the perpetrator.
