All-in-One Skimmers
Summary: Krebs on Security describes an all-in-one ATM skimmer built for specific Diebold machines that combines an integrated magnetic stripe reader with a hidden pinhole camera angled at the PIN pad, storing stolen card data and timestamped PIN videos on a flash memory card. The hand-made unit, advertised on an exclusive underground forum for slightly more than $5,000 USD, holds a battery charge for two to four days depending on ambient temperature and customer volume, and the seller accepts only cash via Western Union or Moneygram or virtual currencies such as WebMoney.
Key Takeaway: The device's two-to-four-day battery life is the window in which a thief must return to the ATM to retrieve it - the moment when the stolen card data and timestamped PIN videos are most exposed, and the point Krebs identifies as the real danger for the criminal.
