Scammers introduce ATM skimmers with built-in SMS notification | Zero Day | ZDNet.com

A recently uncovered serial manufacturer of ATM skimmer devices, seems to have solved the secure retrieval of the device issue by innovating, and introducing ATM skimmers that would automatically SMS the complete credit card details to the scammer.

Yep, instead of the criminal having to retrieve his skimmer from the ATM, it simply sends him the info.

The Manfacturers instructions say:

“The card reader reads out cards and sends tracks via SMS. The keyboard tracks the pressed buttons sequences and also sends them via SMS. If it is necessary, you can make a call to skimmer and download information, but it’s more convenient to receive SMS. All SMS are being sent to a basic number defined by a Client, a sim card with a basic number is installed into the phone (we tell you the cellular phone model when you buy the skimmer). The phone is connected to a PC with running a certain software that controls the device functioning. In other words, You receive tracks and PINs, manage your device just sitting at home in front of your PC.
