It's interesting how the standard design of ATMs has created an opportunity for skimmer apertures. Straight from factory, ATMs are often a 1980s-vision-of-the-future with lots of bevels, mixed plastics of assorted shiny/matte, inexplicable recesses and protrusions. Even bulky skimmers and cameras (to capture your pin number) can be attached to the faceplate and most wouldn't think to question it.
