That's good news. Just hope the bad guys are smarter than I was (now I learn something new

What if fingerprints change? Then cannot use ATM?

Veins, not fingerprints.

And fingerprints don't change, don't you watch CSI? [/quote]Yes fingerprints won't change but if fingers are severely damaged, then then fingerprints will be gone but that is more of exception.

no point covering the keypad if the ATM has been compromised, eg when skimming device has been slotted into the card slot and you never knew it

Huh? This is ATM leh. Thought I saw that the scammers couple the skimmers with cameras or other stuff to capture the pin? Without which how are they going to know e pin?

the device skimmer slotted into the card slot is so thin so small that you don't notice it

it captures all your data on the magnetic strip and the key stroke of your pin number

that's it

they have a micro device (skimmer) in the card slot and you never know it

every one of your key stroke is captured by the skimmer[/quote]Camera is old techno...

All the affected ATM cards from the previous case were cancelled and new ATM cards were issued. Wonder how did this happen again. Think there are more issues than what has been reported in the news.

What I can’t understand is, why only DBS and not other bank? What have DBS gone wrong with their IT system?

3rd ATM machine compromised. That's why this new spate.

my belief is that DBS has the most number of machines. Easier to find one to 下手. That means we should put our money in, say maybank? They dont have that many ATMs for one.
