ATM skimmer caught in the wild by a cybersecurity expert

Have you seen an ATM theft caught on camera real time? This is your chance to see an ATM skimmer in action real-time thanks to a cyber security expert.
Cybersecurity expert Benjamin Tedesco who was touring Vienna was hanging out in Main Square, near the metro station when he walked up to an ATM machine. He decided to give the ATM reader a little pull, as he is very suspicious about such machines. The reader came out with a working skimmer that was designed exactly to like the same card slot on the original machine.
“It pays to be paranoid,” he said.
Later, Tedesco pulled off the skimmer while taking some pictures of it. He plans to go ahead and try reverse engineering once he reaches home (probably with the credit card data still on it). The pinhole camera that the hackers used to seize PIN codes have been noticed by some Reddit users, in addition, to a feature that allows the entire cards be stolen in seconds.
As a cautionary measure, please ensure to check the ATM before using it. There are triggers in place that are basically meant to stop the installation of tools like these. However, there are times that they don’t work and hackers are getting shrewder. Even if it feels strange, always push, rub and pull ATMs in the wild.

8 Common Programming Mistakes

  ==> Learning to program can be tough--just ask anyone who's done it! Fortunately, a lot of problems happen over and over again--I've put together 8 of the most common problems that you'll run into as a new programmer.   1. Undeclared Variables int main(){ cin>>x; cout< "Huh? Why do I get an error?" Your compiler doesn't know what x means. You need to declare it as a variable. int main(){ int x; cin>>x; cout< 2. Uninitialized variables int count; while(count<100 count="" cout="" pre=""> "Why doesn't my program enter the while loop?" In C++ variables are not initialized to zero. In the above snippet of code, count could be any value in the range of int. It might, for example, be 586, and in

Basic Data Types In Java Examples And Programs

Basic Data Types In Java:              There are two different types of data types used in java that are Primitive type Non-primitive type Primitive type: byte : The byte data type is useful for saving memory in large arrays. It saves memory the range of byte data type is -128 to +127.It is an 8- bit signed two’s complement integer. The byte default value is 0. Example: byte a=20; short : The short is as similar as byte but is  16-bit signed two’s complement integer. The range of short data type is -32768 to +32767. The short data type default value is 0. Example: short s=1000; char : The char data type is a single 16-bit Unicode character. The range of char data type is '\u0000' to '\uffff'. The Char datatypes are used to store any character. Example: char c ='J'; boolean : The boolean data type used to represent one bit of information. This data type is used to check true or false conditions. The Default value i

C Language Class 1 : Introduction to C Programming Language

C Language Class 1 : Introduction to C Programming Language C was developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories in USA . C was originally first implemented on the DEC PDP-11 computer in 1972. C was originally designed for writing system software but today a variety of software programs are written in C. C can be used on many different types of computers but is mostly used with the UNIX operating system. It is also called as ‘ Procedure oriented programming language ‘ The C has now become a widely used professional language for various reasons. Easy to learn Structured language It produces efficient programs. It can handle low-level activities. It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms. Facts about C C was invented to write an operating system called UNIX . C is a successor of B language which was introduced around 1970 The language was formalized in 1988 by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) . The UNIX OS was tot
