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.

Funny how reality is wholly different isn't it? That's why the EU(commission) has come out saying to paraphrase "we'll do whatever we want, and if the public doesn't like it too bad." And the MEP's can do nothing about that. Or when they came out and said "if a right-wing party is elected, we won't do anything with them and block them from doing anything." So democratic isn't it...that commission that isn't elected. You know who else uses things like "councils of ministers" to implement decisions regardless of the populaces support? Communist and totalitarian countries.
Om, nomnomnom...
