The European ATM Security Team (EAST) report released yesterday gives evidence of several changes in attacker behavior and tools
The increase in ATM skimming incidents reported by EAST for the period January to June 2010 continues, with eleven countries reporting increases in such incidents, and four countries decreases. One country has reported that instead of maximising fraudulent cash withdrawals at a single ATM, criminals are now visiting more ATMs and using fewer cards at each site. A new type of analogue skimming device, using audio technology, has been reported by five countries.
