A new generation of mag-stripe skimmers with a fully built in GSM device has been found in US Petrol pumps, as shown in a recent article by Brian Krebs. The captured devices contained a common T-Mobile GSM SIM, allowing for the captured data to be immediately transferred via SMS to the skimmers for real time use and abuse. All of course down the the US slowness in implementing the Chip / PIN security aspects ot EMV.
Skimming devices now call home
