- ATM Fraud with Contactless Cards on the Rise: How to Stay Safe?
The advancement of banking technology has brought convenience, but it has also opened new opportunities for fraud. Among the latest scams, criminals have been exploiting the contactless payment function (NFC) in ATMs to steal customer data and funds in a silent and sophisticated manner. How Does the Fraud Occur? Fraudsters use concealed devices on ATMs to intercept communication between the customer's card and the terminal. The main tactics include: Clandestine NFC Readers : Small devices are installed near the terminal to capture card data as soon as the customer taps the card to make a transaction. Phantom Transactions : Some criminals use equipment that mimics the bank's NFC interface and induce transactions without the user noticing. Forced Proximity : Fraudsters with portable readers position themselves near ATMs or crowded areas to try to capture information from cards that have NFC enabled. How to Protect Yourself? Faced with this new type of threat, banking security experts recommend the following precautions: Disable NFC when not in use : Many cards allow temporary deactivation of contactless payments via the bank's app. Cover your card when making transactions : Just like shielding the keypad when entering your PIN, preventing your card from being exposed can reduce risks. Avoid using contactless at suspicious ATMs : If you notice any modifications to the terminal, prefer inserting the card manually and using a PIN. Use NFC security devices : Some advanced solutions can detect intrusive signals and protect the transaction. Security Solution: NFC Safe Shield To ensure customer protection, Ebrax has developed the NFC Safe Shield , a sensor capable of performing real-time scanning and identifying suspicious NFC signals at ATMs. When a risk is detected, the device blocks the interception attempt, ensuring that the transaction takes place securely. With the increasing sophistication of banking fraud, prevention and the use of security technologies are essential to avoid losses. Staying alert and protected is the best way to ensure that your banking experience remains convenient and safe.
- Have you ever heard about the glue attack on bank ATMs?
Well then... This type of fraud has been increasing recently, and criminals are using social engineering to deceive more and more people. The fraud consists of applying glue to the card reader to trap the customer's card. Desperate, the customer looks for help, and then the fraudster appears, offering assistance and advising the customer to call the 0800 number on the ATM sticker. However, the sticker refers to a fake customer service center, where the customer is instructed to enter their PIN and personal data, which are immediately intercepted by the criminals. Unable to retrieve their card, the customer leaves the ATM, and the fraudster takes advantage of the situation to withdraw money using the stolen data. Faced with this new threat, Ebrax has taken the lead by developing EBX Bond Shield , a sensor that detects glue vapors and immediately triggers actions such as shutting down the ATM, activating alarms, and more. The goal is to detect fraud as it happens, disabling the ATM in question and preventing customers from falling victim to the scam. If you would like more details about the product, please contact us.
