My bank (ANZ) has new ATMs with prominent, translucent green housings around the card slot that flash when the card is inserted or removed. It's a very distinctive design, and one that I feel must have been crafted specifically to mitigate these kinds of attacks.
- villiros 17y agoI've noticed some newer ATMs around these parts started doing that as well. However, is is of absolutely no use without associated customer education. The machines don't even say "here is what the slot should look like, please check it before entering your PIN." There were even reports of people calling the police thinking this security feature was a skimming device, since it looks so out of place and different from what's usually on the machines.
