MSNBC has this article about Dateline NBC's investigative report into
fake ATMs and other ATM related scams. ATM frauds are a clever
combination of social engineering and hardware hacking. The most
sophisticated thefts involve the purchase and setup of real ATMs that
actually do dispense cash to avoid suspicion, but are altered to save
both the card's magnetic signature and the customers PIN, which are
later added to false cards and used to empty bank accounts at real
ATMS. The 'ATM gang' profiled managed to purchase and setup 50+
machines and steal over $4 million from over 21,000 customers. The
machines can be purchased legitimately and hooked into the banking
network with no more than a regular bank account. Less sophisticated
attacks include building and attaching false fronts to existing ATMs
to collect info, and using covert cameras to collect PINs from
afar. The articles has some handy tips for avoiding scams."
