For example, numeric inputs are displayed in three rows of three inputs and a fourth row having a single input. The sequence of different inputs available for selection and their positions are conventionally fixed and uniform for ATM input devices. The camera may track the hand movements of a banking customer as the customer inputs a PIN. A hidden camera may also be placed in a different location than a skimmer. Additionally, the skimmer may wirelessly transmit obtained customer information thus obviating the need for the thief to physically access the skimmer.Ī skimmer may also include a hidden camera that may capture a customer's PIN. Thus, the skimmer may obtain information encoded on a bank card's magnetic stripe in a manner transparent to the customer. The skimmer may be placed over a card slot reader of an ATM and may read the magnetic stripe as the card is inserted into the slot.Ī customer may not notice that a skimmer has been placed on or in an ATM because the skimmer may not impede legitimate access to the customer's bank account information. For example, a thief may utilize a skimming device placed on or in an ATM that reads data encrypted on a banking card's magnetic stripe. However, the wide variety of locations associated with ATMs and lack of close human supervision at the ATM increases the risk of unauthorized access to a customer's bank account information. Only if the PIN entered is properly associated with the card inserted by the banking customer will the ATM allow access to cash and bank account information. Following the receipt of the bank card information, an ATM will prompt the customer to input a personal identification number (PIN). In addition to requiring a customer to insert a card, ATMs provide an additional level of protection. The magnetic stripe or chip may store data including a unique card number and security information. The card is typically issued by the customer's bank and/or other financial institution (collectively hereinafter, “bank”). To prevent the risk of fraudulent access to a customer's banking account information a typical ATM requires a customer to insert a plastic card containing a magnetic stripe or chip. The wide variety of possible locations for an ATM provides banking customers with access to cash and banking account information at convenient public locations. For example, ATMs may be placed on street corners, in convenience stores, supermarkets or sports arenas. Additionally, ATMs may be located in a variety of diverse locations remote from banking centers. ATMs may often obviate the need for a banking customer to consult a human clerk.
