I saw a news several days ago when there was a case about some big clients of some national banks lost their fund in the bank saving. When this case handled by police, they main cause of this case is there were some people who cheated during ATM transactions. Actually this was not the first time of criminal case but when there was a big lost of fund, some mass media give big attention on this case.
Skimming is a method of criminal to get the victim code of their ATM card and then take out their fund from the bank account. Usually this method is doing by some peoples with IT skill and their knowledge with how they will play with the bank account.
When I saw the evidence showed by police of white crime section, there are more than a set of equipment used like idle card, micro camera, laptop and skimming machine. They use some method to catch the victim’s card code like using hidden camera, put additional fake keyboard or put skimming machine as entry way cover.
After saw all of evidence, I was asking my self how easier some one doing a crime due simple to found the equipment like micro camera for hidden camera and skimming machine. We can found and buy from online seller with few hundreds dollars and use them for what we want.
Some peoples said needed a straight regulation to prevent this dangerous case with control the distribution of the equipments, but for me that’s not a simple way because the improvement of technology can’t be stopped due another function of equipment with more positive benefit more than for crime purpose.
