Credit-card robbers hit ATMs in 'tsunami' attack

Article

The pair fell under suspicion when a series of point of sales terminals were stolen from retail stores in and replaced with compromised ones in a manner similar to the Safeway thefts in the Lower Mainland.

A jury found he tampered with point-of-sales terminals at McDonald's restaurants in 2009.

It's scammer alert time again.

It seems that those little tiny debit machines at your corner store and McDonalds are getting stolen and replaced with evil clones that report back your private information to na'er do wells , who then empty your bank account.

after combing the story a few times, all I can see is it's the little terminals that they hand you at some store or another, not a big old bank machine. Apparently the bank machines are too heavy to replace with fraudulent ones.

so much for me whipping out the debit card at the drug store anymore.

As for McDog Foods being taken in , the less said the better.
