What about tap to pay? Is that more secure or more prone for scams
@IRLSuperb 14 днів тому
Yes it’s more secure but the tap to pay can also be replicated. Just always make sure by grabbing everything to see if anything comes off.
@securitysocks 14 днів тому
More secure. Tap to pay/NFC/Contsctless/Chip uses the EMV chip which calculates a single use authentication code for each transaction, so copying this doesn't authorize any other transactions unlike existing magnetic stripe which is fixed information of all the card information and simply skimmed & re-used. EMV isn't impossible to hack but extremely expensive and difficult so not really seen, magnetic stripe skimmers are much much cheaper and easily bought online. I use a mobile wallet since they are even more secure, requires unlocking the mobile wallet (password pin or biometrics) & a virtual card number is used that only allows for EMV payments unlike a normal card that still can transact with its number online or with swipe. Lots of EMV cards still have stripe so social engineering like disabling or dirtying tap to pay or the terminal just not having contactless/EMV/tap to pay, so you use swipe on a skimmer-installed terminal which is again copied. Gas stations, Walmart, convenience stores.
@kryptosuperdoggaming 14 днів тому

And critically ATMs debit/atm/EBT cards if skimmed means funds being directly drained, so your money is gone/frozen while fraud investigation happens unlike a credit card. Should always use ATMs inside a bank, preferably line of sight to employees & inspect for any skimmers: anything in the slot, any loose panels, anything on pin pad, or anything out of place like dirt on all but one clean machine, enticing you to use the skimmer installed one.

Just make sure if you use Tap at a bank atm for a withdrawal, that you close or official end the transaction after getting your money. There, they use a mini camera under the keypad shroud and get your PIN, and then (unless and until it’s changed), if you did the card tap way, the screen stays open and asks if you want another transaction, but doesn’t make you enter your PIN again, and the scammer will be there and come right up behind you and make a withdrawal. So always make sure to end the transaction.

I believe some of these stores are complicit in this. If you're at the register how do you not see someone adding something or tampering with the card reader, how are you that busy? Especially the outside gas stations. The way that agent opened that machine up how do employees not see that? Tips: 1. Keep your debit cards/ebt/credit cards locked at ALL times. 2. When using your debit card use it as credit to prevent the pin being exposed. 3. Most ebt card platforms have the ability to lock or freeze your card, block out of state transactions and online purchases. 4. If you receive Ebt benefits change your pin the night before your benefits hit. That way if your card has been compromised the scammers have the card number but no PIN number.

You can buy a SKIM REAPER or HUNTER CAT device that detects a skimmer at pumps, ATMs , etc. Make sure your wallet has an RFID protector. People can steal your information standing next to you

I have brought to the attention of managers - devices that looked odd, and each time they act as though its an inconvenience not to be troubled with.

CONSUMER GUIDE: 1) Don't use obviously tampered readers; 2) Check your balance promptly, and report fraudulent activity; 3) Use TAP-TO-PAY if possible; 4) Use credit cards, but if you MUST use a debit card, don't keep extra money in the account (and choose bank option to decline payment if insufficient funds); 5) Set up ALERTS to notify you every time a transaction occurs using your card.

The atms in my school campus has been replaced by flat panels without seam or break. It’s just 1 whole sheet with touchscreen. There’s nothing you can poke or glue as they found a lot of skimmers last year.

@zesolodar 14 днів тому
all the places by me have a great tool to prevent skimming on credit card readers in stores. they all have a big piece of plastic on all four sides of the reader so if you tried to put a skimmer on the plastic pieces would prevent the skimmer from being able to go over the machine. outside of that your best protection is just use the tap to pay feature. every new credit card from every bank has it
@mpa324 13 днів тому
Maybe install some tamper alert light in the machines, say if it's been opened a big ass red light turns on and can only be turned off by the company who installed them.

Use a temporary card like Revolut to transfer the needed funds to and then pay using that rather than your main debit/credit card.
@pathfinder3175 11 днів тому
Tap to pay is way less secure. It's RF and any directional antenna pointed at the tap to pay can pick it up a quarter mile away.

If you want to know how to find a skimmer start by the consumer product where do they buy them in the first place? Or How to make your own skimmer what about you need part to made? Why are buy so much product for this certain item? Can put a tracker to know where it goes when they buy it? And then you find the main source while making it?
@MichaelMonsanto 11 днів тому
Or install a sensor that’s beeps loud when the pump is moved beyond a certain level. And makes a huge scene while it’s triggered. That’ll stop em
@steadysmv 14 днів тому
Many gas stations have a tamper evident seal at the pumps. Look for this before refueling and say something to a clerk if you notice the seal was broken.

NEVER use your debit card for purchases!!! Get a no fee credit card, and use that for all purchases. Pay the statement balance IN FULL every month to avoid paying interest. By law, you are not liable for fraudulent credit card purchases.

tap to pay, usually your card number and stuff is encrpyted during those type of transactions. Chip is also safer but may still not be 100% safe and of course don't swipe.

Skimmer tech is so simple that we need another credit card form factor. One without a mag strip, reworked security chip and two Factor auth potentially.

A Skimmer Detector built into every Card Scanner could alert Bank Managers and Cashiers immediately. An ATM Camera could capture a good picture of the Crook installing it.
