Security is
a very important aspect of life. The rising theft and cyber crime has shaken
the pillars of atm touch screen kiosk machine manufacturers.
Therefore in last few years we have experience some extra important features
for the sake of ATM security.
European resources have published about the fraud
update for 2012. This news is based on country offense information given by legislative
body of 18 countries, at the 28th EAST gathering held in Dublin. Skimming attacks were also reported on cash dispensing
terminals at gas stations, ticket machines, at railway ticket machines and at
retail payment terminals. The most common technique used by robbers goes with fork
insertion into the cash machine while
doing regular transactions.
After continuous thieving attempts on ticket
vending & touch screen kiosks, most
of the manufacturers have started to develop more secure designs to prevent
this theft condition. It’s my personal experience which I am putting in front
of you. Once I stopped near a gas station to take out some money out of the
ATM. While I was operating the machine, two robbers came near to me and seized
me on gum tip. That was the moment when I started to curse them in my heart and
thought that about the pin code entry in opposite sequence. This opposite pin
code series technique is a very safe option to apply because on doing so,
without any delays ATM dispensed the cash and it was taken by me.
The punch
point behind this story is that thieves were arrested from nearby location
because of the security alert sending protocol to the police station on
entering the pin code in reverse mode.
This trend
is becoming popular among ATM users; most of the self service touch screen kioskproducers
are adapting this feature to prevent any mishap.
