Kiss from a Rogue - Evaluating Detectability of Pay-at-the-Pump Card Skimmers

Explore the vulnerabilities of pay-at-the-pump gas station terminals and the effectiveness of current anti-skimming measures in this 19-minute IEEE conference talk. Delve into a comprehensive analysis of skimmer detection apps, real-world skimmer hardware, and anti-skimmer mechanisms deployed by pump owners. Examine the results of a four-year study on skimmer reports and security measures, revealing the ineffectiveness of common gas pump security indicators. Learn why these measures may be providing a false sense of security and understand the urgent need for stronger, reliable, and inexpensive solutions to protect consumers and merchants from credit card fraud at gas stations.
