(London Telegraph) Crafty devices designed to steal your credit card information when you use cash machines are getting increasingly compact and difficult to spot, according to reports, with the latest "razor thin" models able to slip totally out of sight inside the card slot.
These "skimmers" have been a growing problem for several years, but new pictures leaked by an unnamed bank show that hackers are becoming ever more sophisticated and their machines are now virtually impossible to detect. They are often attached to the outside of cash machines, disguised to look like part of the facade, but new models hide within the machines themselves.
