Topic Background:

ATM skimming fraud losses have surged since 2013. Debit card compromises at ATMs located on financial institution properties jumped 174% in 3 months last year, and successful attacks at nonbank properties soared by 317%, according to FICO. It’s one of the financial industry's fastest-growing electronic frauds. True losses are unknown. Some sources put global skimming losses as high as $8 billion annually. The PCI Security Standards Council estimates each skimming case creates an average of $50,000 loss per incident.

Skimming card data isn’t restricted to ATMs. According to Trend Micro, in the third quarter of 2015, small and medium-sized businesses accounted for 45 percent of known incidents involving PoS malware. No business is immune and losses are staggering. The negative reputation for poor security, lawsuits and other losses continue to mount.
