Get safe from ATM Hackers:

ATM hacking is related to getting your personally coded information from the machine by fraudulent means. This is done by placing a spy camera so that the Personal Identification number (PIN) and other information gets recorded.

The Code number on your card is obtained by a reader which reads the magnetic strip on your card and transmits it to the nearby receiver where it is recorded by the hacker.
With this information the hacker creates a card with your code and then wi thdraws money from your account using the PIN recorded through the Spy Cam.

There are other methods of fraud related to ATM machines. A computer geek could get the Administrator password of the ATM and change the nature of the currency it holds. For example he could alter the $10 bills with $50 thus getting S50 bills instead of $10.

So if you think is there any fault in ATM then contact with associated company for that. When you enter for withdrawing your money from ATM then have a look around for sure of everything is ok. Because Hackers could use spy cameras on roof, sides or on any part of the ATM from where it is a little damaged.
