ATMs in Europe have lately been hit with skimming attacks that are not only effective, but also rather brazen - the criminals have taken to reprogramming the banks' own anti-skimming devices for their unlawful purposes.
The European ATM Security Team (EAST) does not say which banks in which particular country suffered these attacks, but some hints point to one of these five: U.K. France, Germany, Russia or Spain.
Another new type of attack has also been detected - a skimming device that contains an MP3 player adapted to record card details and that includes a micro-camera that record the PINs as they are entered by the customers.
