Slot Shimmers
Just when you thought the tide might be shifting toward the good guys in the skimming game, the bad guys unleash a new weapon—the shimmer, WFMY-TV reports. The paper-thin device about the size of a credit card can be wedged into the card slot of a gas pump or ATM. A microchip embedded in the shimmer, along with flash storage, can grab credit and debit card data that thieves use to create a counterfeit magnetic strip card.
The good news is that shimmers only work on mag-stripe card readers, not on chip readers. The bad news is that it’s even harder to see if a shimmer has been secreted inside the card reader.

They’ll take that information, and then create dummy cards from that data that was harvested from that machine,” said Sandra Guile, a BBB spokeswoman.
