The new Anti-Skimming II module thwarts attempts to steal card data at ATMs that take place when skimming devices are attached to the card entry slot and the customer’s PIN is stolen. The module recognizes a wide variety of skimmers when they are mounted on the ATM, and disrupts them in their attempts to read card data. If a suspicious device is detected, the system initiates a silent alarm, and follow-up actions, such as video monitoring and recording, can also be triggered.

The rising number of attacks on ATMs has also meant an increase in the variety of manipulation attempts. Optical Security Guard – Wincor Nixdorf’s optimal system monitoring solution – protects the new CINEO systems from a wide array of attacks. Intelligent recognition processes mean that criminal alterations to the device, such as keypad overlays, skimming devices, hidden or disguised cameras, or other changes – such as those that enable cash trapping – are identified immediately.

The company’s extensive portfolio of security solutions is rounded out by a consulting and service offer. On the basis of a detailed analysis of an ATM operator’s existing security processes, experts develop tailored proposals that can range from individual systems to the complete monitoring of all systems and all bank branches

Another focus of Wincor World will be software that supports the multichannel orientation of today’s retail banks and continually provides new services for customers and financial institutions. With the net-centric ProClassic/Enterprise Retail Banking Solution Suite (PC/E Suite), Wincor Nixdorf will demonstrate how the existing infrastructure of the Internet sales channel can be optimally implemented on Internet-capable mobile terminal devices, thus serving as an additional channel for end customers. The integrated technology approach means that existing business services can also be enabled for mobile use through the Suite’s software products PC/E Direct Marketing, PC/E Monitoring, PC/E Cash Management and PC/E Payment Services. Then, for example, real-time mobile monitoring of error and status reports from the self-service network will be possible on any mobile terminal device. But the platform’s multichannel approach means that these functionalities can also be offered for the other sales and service channels, such as self-service, the branch, and call centers.

Security is and will remain an important strategic topic for both financial institutions and retail businesses, in no small part because it is a key factor for business success in these two sectors. The extensive offer of ProTect security solutions covers single systems, entire stores or branches, and even cross-sector processes, and offers answers to a wide variety of attack strategies. From data and software security to cash security, identity and access control, and security monitoring, at Wincor World the visitor will find a wide variety of solutions that address all necessary aspects of a holistic security concept.

Banks and retail companies seeking to reopen, redesign, or optimize their branches or stores will also find solutions at Wincor World that help them achieve greater customer-orientation in their branches and stores. With the WIN@Branch portfolio for banks and the WIN@Store solutions for retailers, Wincor Nixdorf helps businesses ensure productive, efficient processes. The concept begins with consulting and an analysis of branch or store processes and the IT environment, and extends all the way to the operation of complete branch or store networks.

For the first time, Wincor Nixdorf will be presenting an integrated showcase on the topic of cashless payment. Visitors will discover how to organize and carry out transaction acceptance and the processing of cashless payments internationally, from the POS to the acquirer’s host, just the way this will be possible in the future within the framework of the SEPA stipulations.

Innovative checkout scenarios for a variety of retail segments are a focus of the portfolio of retail solutions: from mobile shopping to self-checkout and traditional staffed checkouts, visitors will discover how to improve customer service, optimize processes and reduce costs. In the case of traditional checkouts, Wincor Nixdorf demonstrates how the use of innovative technologies can reduce your total cost of ownership over the long term. This is made possible through improvements such as the use of 80PLUS power supply units, which achieve greater energy efficiency. Other improvements include the optimization of system reliability through the use of solid state storage technologies, plus enhanced service life and serviceability.

Another focal point is the TP Application Suite. As a fully-integrated software package at the store and enterprise levels, it controls all of a retail business’s store-specific processes. The spectrum of the software’s benefits ranges from control of the store landscape to new possibilities for enhancing customer loyalty to improvements in both customer service and work processes in the store. Particular attention will be given this year to the topic of customer loyalty. The software module TPLoyalty builds on numerous functions from TP Application Suite to form a flexible customer loyalty instrument with precise customer segmentation mechanisms, targeted campaigns and customer loyalty programs, as well as immediate controls of the effectiveness of individual promotional measures.

Wincor Nixdorf has expanded its services portfolio, and at Wincor World the entire offer of future-oriented services for banks and retail companies will be on display. One important topic is the Global Services Delivery Processes. Services from, for example, a call center are bundled at a central location and made available to customers all over Europe, enabling quick and expert support for banks and retail companies and rapid recovery times.
In order to simplify the selection and combination of individual product-related services, support pack offers have been developed. These offers bundle standardized services for a fixed price. The integrated concept approach envisions that every newly sold piece of hardware will be accompanied by an offer for manufacturer service, either as a support pack or as an individual service agreement.
Solution packages are part of the Managed Services portfolio. They extend from the operation of self-service systems to cash cycle management and all the way to the operation of the complete information and communications structure in a branch or store. The solution packages are modular and can be put together individually for each customer. Using the new connectivity box and a simple plug & play connection, Wincor Nixdorf can remotely monitor customer systems around the clock . Sources of error and faults are noticed immediately and can be rectified right away.
Outsourcing and consulting are also showcased at Wincor World. Here, Wincor Nixdorf is presenting management concepts and individually-tailored operating models that ensure higher quality and more innovative solutions for customers at optimized cost.

WINNIPEG — Hundreds of Winnipeggers are believed to be victims of a debit card skimming operation.

Winnipeg police said this morning that a preliminary investigation has found that debit card machine pin pads at several businesses have been compromised, with the information used in fraudulent purchases in eastern Canada.

Police said that the investigation is expected to take several months, adding that financial institutions in the city are co-operating.

Anyone who believes that their debit card information has been used in a fraudulent purchase should contact their financial institution.

More skimming and antiskimming information you will find at antiskimming.info

By Mohammad Ghazal

AMMAN – Police have urged the public to be cautious when using automated teller machines (ATMs), after 12 foreigners were arrested this week for committing ATM fraud.

The thieves, who are believed to have been operating in the country for about two weeks, installed card skimmers and small cameras on ATMs around Amman, using these devices to collect customers’ bank card information and withdraw money from their accounts. No figures were available on the amount of stolen money.

The 12 are believed to be part of a network of ATM thieves working in several countries in the region, said Public Security Department Spokesperson Major Mohammad Khatib.

The gang’s devices made it possible to read bank cards’ magnetic strips and record personal identification numbers (PINs) entered by bank clients, Khatib told The Jordan Times over the phone on Thursday.

The police raided the homes of the gang members, arrested them and seized their laptops, along with numerous fake bank cards on which they stored the stolen data and which they used to make withdrawals or purchases.

One of the 12 was arrested while in possession of about 40 fake cards, Khatib told The Jordan Times.

The officer urged citizens to be careful when using ATMs, to cover their hands when entering their PINs and to check for any suspicious devices before using the machine.

Buthaina Jadoun, whose information was stolen earlier this week by a card reader installed on one of the machines in Al Madina Al Munawara Street, said she lost JD600, all the money that was in her account at the time.

“Last Saturday, I went to withdraw some money from my bank’s branch near the 7th Circle area. As I withdrew JD40, I remembered my brother warning me to be careful when using an ATM as he works as a banker and had heard of a group of ATM thieves in town,” Jadoun, an editor at Hatem children’s magazine, told The Jordan Times.

After withdrawing the money, Jadoun said she was worried and decided to wait in her car to see if anybody came after her to use the machine.

“I saw many Jordanians using the machine after me, but there was a car in front of the machine where there were some blond men who were certainly non-Jordanians. I doubted that they were from the group my brother told me about, but I waited for a few minutes and then left,” she added.

On Tuesday, Jadoun said, she went to withdraw JD600 from her account, but could not.

“I entered the bank and they told me that JD600 were taken from my account in a purchase transaction conducted in a foreign country,” said Jadoun, adding that she will sue the bank if they do not compensate her.

An ATM expert at a local bank, who asked to remain unnamed, said there is no law that stipulates compensation for banks’ clients when money is stolen from their accounts through ATM fraud.

“It is up to the banks to compensate clients in such cases, especially if the withdrawal is from a machine affiliated with the bank the client uses,” said the source.

He recommended that card users change their passwords.

However, the expert said banks should take responsibility for compensating clients in cases of ATM fraud as banks in Jordan are not doing enough to raise awareness among their clients of how to avoid being victims of ATM fraud.

According to the source, some banks in Jordan use certain devices in their ATMs that cannot be tampered with. However, he said banks in Jordan need to pay more attention to raising awareness and installing modern devices that are unbreakable by ATM scammers.

Head of IT at Cairo Amman Bank Omar Yaqoub said the use of ATM skimmers is not only restricted to Jordan as many ATM fraud cases are reported across the world.

Yaqoub said the bank he works at introduced in June the “IrisGuard iBank Suite”, iris scanners, a new technology that uses cameras to obtain eye-prints from customers and then process transactions.

“This technique is reliable and there is no way for fraud and deception as it depends on the iris, and iris of each person is different from another,” he told The Jordan Times.

Personally I am beginning to check if it would make sense to create and establish an annual ATM security conference in the Principality of Monaco. Monaco is the ideal place for a prestigious conference. Monaco is deeply involved in any form of money related businesses. We have an enormous concentration of high potentials from the banking industry at Monaco. So I believe that Monaco is the perfect location for an ATM security related conference. Sure I have the best links inside Monaco to be able to organize an event like that.

What do you think about? Who would be interested to come to Monaco for an ATM / CreditCard security related conference? We can discuss it here and of course you are welcome to send me a personal message using the contact form..

Check the link to read the blog post at Juniper.

An employee of Juniper obviously discovered a security leek in the network structure used by Automated Teller Machines. This problem seems to concern one ATM manufacturer directly – the name was not mentioned. The employee of Juniper has prepared a presentation for the Blackhat USA 2009 conference to show more details about this issue. The vendor has forbidden to show the presentation. Juniper says that not only this vendor is concerned, the problem could touch any ATM.
Do you think the decision to forbid Juniper to show the presentation was a good one?
