All it takes is an urgent, seemingly sincere message, and you’re handing over all your personal information without question in a few moments. Why do you need it? You consider it genuine, thanks to how the post is crafted, the included graphics, and the cloned website. Fraudsters copy the websites of banks, credit card companies, PayPal, and even eBay. There are some logos in the right place, a form to fill out, and in a few moments, you volunteer your data. Anti-Phishing: Do not click on links in messages and emails purporting to be from your bank, PayPal, etc. Instead, open a browser window and log in to confirm or deny the details of the message. Skimming Cybercriminals rely on data cloning technology instead of physically stealing your bank card. This information can then be used to create a duplicate card or entered at the checkout of an online store. How did it happen? Lightweight, palm-sized machines can be used to clone your map.

Use contactless payments whenever possible. Check ATMs for fake faceplates and skimmers.

They have the upper hand when the offender gets your card and the PIN. Prevent surf over your shoulder: Close the keypad when entering your PIN at an ATM or checkout.
