Gang steals ATM data in UAE
United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, March 05 - 2008 at 12:08
The UAE Central Bank has announced that the ATM card details of potentially thousands of UAE residents have been stolen by a gang of fraudsters who hacked into a bank's ATM machine, reported the Peninsula. The central bank has provided lenders with a list of ATM cards used on the machine and advised all banks to block the affected cards immediately and either replace them or have users change their pin number. The bank has also advised lenders to check all their ATMs to make sure they had not been tampered with and there were no traces of an electronic reader, commonly known as a skimming machines.
