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.

I live in Nigeria 1. I don't like unannounced visits. 2. You must be joking right, park your car in the wrong place and these street thugs will suck your pocket dry. 3. Now you are talking 4. I live close to a bus stop and i HAAAAATE noise of any sort. Loud music,noise induced drama/argument, conductors shouting at the top of their voice etc name it i hate it. 5. Some TV shows though. 6. Refer to no 4 8. Thanks but i don't party why? see no 4 again. 9. I'm not good at this so i prefer things with a price tag. 10. Maybe 11. The "face me i face you" type you mean, i don't like those too why? see no 4... again. 12. Hell yeah. 13. You have said it all "Nigerians don't mind their business" 14.Maybe it's because I'd hate to see/hear people chew their food with their mouth open but i would miss naija food and suya 15. see no 4... again. 1 Like |

ByfireByfire: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. |

Blackchampion: Dats exactly wht it is for. Even wen u feel suicide is d only option, deep inside u, u must find atleast 1 reason to push through.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. 1 Like |
