Vacationing Security Researcher Exposes Austrian ATM Skimmer (carbonblack.com)
While vacationing with his family in Vienna, Ben Tedesco (from security company Carbon Black) discovered an ATM skimmer "in the wild", perfectly crafted to look like the original card reader. New submitter rmurph04 shares Ben's story: I went to grab some cash from an ATM. Being security paranoid, I repeated my typical habit of checking the card reader with my hand as I have hundreds of times. Today's the day when my security awareness paid off!
Ben's blog post includes a video demonstrating the ATM skimmer, as well as close-ups showing the device had its own control board, strip reader, and even its own battery.

Another Leftist failure.
Another Leftist failure.
If you mean the EU when you talk about leftist, you don't have the slightest clue about what's going in dude
I agree. It always amuses me when right wingers randomly throw the word 'socialist' at things they do not like. Whenever somebody does that I get this visual of him standing there next to his toaster looking reflectively at a burned slice of toasted bread muttering to himself: 'Yet, another perfect example of the failure of socialism'. Overuse of the word 'socialist' in some form is the perfect litmus test to tell the stupid right wingers ones from the smart ones. The smart ones use 'socialism' sparingly because they know what it is, the stupid ones usually can't let fly more than three sentences in any discussion without wrongly applying the word 'socialism' to something that has little or nothing to do with socialism.
Actually, in the EU the main decisions are taken by the Council of Ministers, composed of (elected) government representatives from each of the member states. The commission is simply a civil service that implements the decisions.
