PIN Sniffing revisisted
It's been a while since I've posted anything; so here's some recent expierences I've had. Recently I recieved a call from my bank, they had an automated attendant a recording advising me that my PIN had been comprimized; and I should visit my branch and have it changed as soon as possible. This plague had struck my significant other not even a month previsoulsy so I half expected it to hit me sooner or later. I've noticed a trend lately; within the realm of security, espcially where merchants are concernd. PIN Skimming is defined as making a copy of the IDE card (your debit or credit card is called an IDE card, not to be confused with Integrated Drive Electronics; which are inside most old computers as a hard drive interface bus!). Debit card fraud is on the rise; as are credit card fraud and various other forms; however this second version of fraud is interesteing in it's methods. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1105142446966_16/?hub=WFive T...
