If you are aware of what ATM skimmers are — and in if you’re not, you should read this post first — you probably know how to act in order to keep your bank card safe. You need to watch for any suspicious attachments to an ATM and avoid using machines that look fishy. But what if there’s no attachments at all, what if the skimmer is completely invisible?
Is that even possible? I’m afraid the answer is yes. In fact, that is exactly the case with ATM Infector cyber-criminal group discovered by our Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) together with our Penetration Testing Team. Members of this Russian-speaking cyber gang are able to turn an ATM itself into a skimmer.
