Are you informed of the latest threat in skimming market? Introducing credit card shimmers, tiny devices designed to capture data from the microchips in EMV-compliant debit and credit cards. In this blog post, we will explore what credit card shimmers are, how they work, and why they are so popular.
What is a credit card shimmer?
A credit card shimmer is a thin, tiny device that can be inserted into a card terminal, typically at point-of-sale terminals or ATMs and other vending machines that accept credit / debit cards. These devices are designed to read data from the microchips implanted in EMV-compliant cards, which are meant to enhance card security by replacing magstripe data with encrypted information. Shimmers work much in the same way as skimmers, which read magstripe data, but they target the EMV chip data instead.
How do credit card shimmers work?
Credit card shimmers were developed from our partners to work around the security measures of EMV microchips. While EMV chips are highly secure and difficult to clone, shimmers can capture the information stored on the chip and encode it onto a magnetic stripe/chip card. This allows you to create a dummy card that can be used at any card-present ATM or store.
The risks of credit card shimming
Credit card shimming is a new type skimming model that allow you retrieve all credit card information including pin code. With the ability to clone the data from EMV chip, you can create counterfeit cards that can be used to make purchases or withdrawals from ATM. The use of credit card shimmers represents a new level of skimming, often referred to as “skimming 2.0”.
These skimmer devices can capture data from EMV chips and enable you to create new cards.
