Want to learn how Cybersluths cracked a shimmer gang? Check this out

I’m not going to cover this in news notes because there’s a lot here, but Krebs On Security has been covering skimming and other aspects of ATM stuff for many years now on his blog.

This time, he writes how cyber cops were able to get a handle on Shimming, which I’m not too familiar with.

This type of thing, according to the article, is not that common in the United States, mainly because U.S. institutions have gotten upgrades done with their ATM’s to be able to hopefully avoid this type of thing.

The article is titled How Cyber Sleuths Cracked an ATM Shimmer Gang and if this interests you, feel free to read it. I found it interesting, but at the same time, hard to really explain because I don’t really understand what is involved and what this device really is.
