Diebold has issued a press release called New Skimming-Protection Solutions to Combat ATM Fraud
Designed to provide effective countermeasures against known skimming attack vectors, Diebold’s ATM Security Protection Suite consists of anti-skimming packages and an industry-leading outsourced monitoring service. The suite offers five levels of protection to proactively guard against increasingly sophisticated card-skimming attacks.
- Level one is meant to prevent skimmer attachment.
- Level two generates an alert – directed either to the branch alarm system or to the ATM network monitoring system – when a skimmer is detected.
- Level three and four involve different detection methods such as an electromagnetic field to prevent a skimmer from capturing magnetic-stripe data in both motorized and dip card readers
- Level five is “Diebold’s ATM SkimmingAlert Monitoring Service.”
