Computers / How To Prevent Hackers Stealing Your ATM PIN Code by BuhBye: 9:26am On Sep 13, 2014
I'M NOT SURE IF THIS SHOULD BE IN THIS SECTION, IF NOT MODS PLEASE DO THE NEEDFUL.
Youtuber Mark Rober demonstrates this new simple way for con artists to steal your ATM pin code without you noticing. Fortunately, the way to prevent this from happening is also very simple.
Your ATM pin code can be stolen discreetly, without you noticing at all. It’s because the con artist doesn’t even need to make an effort to take it from you!
They can even steal it from you, even while you aren’t there! How do they do this? One underhanded tactic is to use infrared cameras. Let’s say you go shopping at the supermarket, and you walk up to the counter to make your purchase with an ATM card. The last thing you do to complete your purchase is
to enter a pin number.
Now as you’ve guessed, the con artist uses a discreet infrared camera, and can determine your pin number by using the heat signature you’ve left behind. This heat signature is open for 15 minutes, until it completely dissipates. Until then, this gives the con artist a window of opportunity to steal your pin code. This also includes door security systems, or anything that includes keys to be pressed. The infrared camera was manufactured by a company called FLIR, a company which sells thermal imaging and infrared systems.
This new infrared device just came out of the market and can be directly hooked up to the back of a smartphone. Back then, thermal imaging cameras were huge and expensive. Now, they only cost a hundred dollars and can be found at any Apple store. A research conducted by USCD (University of San Diego, California) claimed that while using thermal imaging systems, they were able to guess the pin code 80% of the time if the image was taken right after the keys were pressed. Even if the image was taken a full 1-minute later, they still had a 50/50 chance of guessing the code correctly. So, how exactly do you protect yourself from this? Metal keypads will absorb very little heat, and the heat signature dissipates quickly. However, if you are not using a metal keypad, here’s a little tip that you can do very quickly to protect yourself from harm. Just simply, rest your fingers on other buttons while you type in your code! It will hinder your original code from potential threats. As an added bonus, the bad guy might be watching you, so position yourself so that others can’t see
you type in your code.

femi4: Did you forget these:

1. After scanning, some channels becomes missing in action e.g SS3, you have to put the decoder off for like 5mins and rescan

2. After reaching 24/24 which consumes almost 10mins, alas another message appear on your screen "E30-2, pls wait for about 2mins, we are trying to verify your account....bla bla"

1. yes, sometimes i only get 10 channels.
2. Doesn't take that long Nah

Your decoder may be fauly or you are having smart card problem because its not a general issue. By the way, what type of decoder are you using.

His decoder is not faulty, didn't you read the comments from other members. Oh i'm sorry, i guess we all have faulty decoders maybe it's time to buy that over priced PVR.

I am A Science Student. I Believe that there is God and I believe He Exist.

Charles Darwins was an atheist/agnostic
(Atheists say God does not exist) | (agnostics say they don't know one way or the other) .
He didn't believe that God exist.
He Gave his own evolution of the earth how the earth formed without God.
.
But in his death birth he said:

Read this before you say what you are not sure of.
skip to the last chapter "Did Darwin Recant Evolutionism on His Deathbed?"

No way. Even MC3 will struggle on 512.
Last year i played mc4 on a low end infinix device with 512 ram and gameplay was smooth.
Maxibrainz try it and see for yourself. Besides a Nlander did say that mc5 worked on his 512 ram phone.

The best photo editing app on Android is HANDY PHOTO even though it needs learning like photo shop on PC cuz it's too complex. I've been using Android for 4yrs now and believe me I've tested all.
With handy photo, photo grid, and pics art u don't need any other app cuz they have all u need.
The picture you uploaded did you edit it using handy photo or picsart?

But China in their dishonesty can easily put 10 on a class 2 memory card or am I missing something? there must be a better way to varify.Thanks all the same for the info.
Buy from a reliable source, make sure you get a warranty/guarantee.
Some micro SD cards (like SanDisk) contain a serial number but i have also seen a fake with one.
Also test the capacity, read and write speeds of your cards before purchase, i recommend "H2test" for this.

Good, then it would do you some good to know why people can't stop having suicidal thoughts. This comment shows you don't.
"Neva see wetin wan mek me reason suicide"
One does simply "push through" and "having it all" in life doesn't mean you are immune to depression and eventually suicide.

Clearly you have never been in a situation where suicide was the only option.
