This is a wake up call to ATM service providers in Nigeria and Africa in general.
It is also an eye opener to you the readers of this post and all readers of my blog.
Cybercriminals and Offline gangs are now using skimming devices to steal ATM card details of individuals and using it to milk such victims dry without such individuals knowing.
Many folks out there may not be aware that it is possible for their funds to be stolen electronically by stealing it from you at the ATM.
This process is called “skimming,” and it involves installing a card reader and a camera on the ATM. The card reader gets the information on the magnetic stripe on the back of your card, and the camera watches what you enter for a PIN and transmits the information wirelessly to the thieves.
So when next you are using an ATM machine, it will be a good idea to keep an eye out for these devices.
You may ask how do I know what to look for?
