For ATM card holders this going to be a awful news. Of course, there are many skimmers in the past, but this time around a new kid joined this thief's. Yeah! with the helping hands of technology this skimmer gets off, so thinner and smaller.
European ATM security team reports that this new skimmer is very thin like a wafer which reads your card when you insert it inside the card reading slot of ATM machine. Its very hard to get rid of this skimmer immediately, but still there are some loop holes in this skimmer too like all other of its kind had.
These type of card insert skimmers owe a secondary recording device that usually coated on the surface of the keypad, or a tiny camera used to record your PIN number you type in, so lookout for those.
For your Info-
