Introduced by nCLOSE, nSKIM provides a fast and efficient method to inspect store POS systems, effectively countering the rise in credit card skimming incidents. Particularly prevalent in non-bank ATMs located in convenience and retail outlets, credit card skimmers have seen a significant 368% surge in 2022 and a further 98% increase in 2023.

Fortunately, nSKIM presents itself as a reliable tool to help prevent such fraudulent activities with ease.

To shed light on the tactics used by criminals with regard to credit card skimmers on POS terminals, it is important to note that these devices come in a variety of forms and are commonly found in non-ATM settings such as retail stores and convenience stores. These skimmers are adept at concealment, making them difficult to detect, requiring extensive manual inspection to ensure the security of credit card terminals. By placing a deceptive overlay on top of the terminal, thieves aim to capture sensitive credit card data without raising suspicion.
