The SFOUR company participated in the study on the protection of ATMs from fraudsters, which has been aired on the Russia 1 TV channel

Currently, bank accounts and bank cards are one of the priority targets for fraudsters. Fraudsters have been attempting robberies of customers of ATMs and self-service terminals in various ways for many years.

Popular scheme of commercial fraud is stealing money from customers’ bank accounts by stealing confidential information regarding their plastic cards and PIN codes. In today's world of widespread non-cash payments using plastic cards, especially popular are cash withdrawal and payment for services using ATMs. This service is convenient for the customers, as it allows making payment for needed services by wire transfer of funds from a bank card or getting cash at any convenient time. In order to complete any kind of operation, all that needed is to insert a plastic card in the ATM and enter your PIN codes. Exactly this confidential information has become a target for fraudsters and using the received card number and PIN code from the customer's card, they obtained an opportunity of wiring stolen money to other accounts.

Alexander Timofeev, Commercial Director of the SFOUR company comments this situation, "In this situation, the SFOUR Company is constantly working on improvement of security features of ATMs and terminals produced by the company. Typical means of protection against fraud are video surveillance systems that allow not only capturing the fraudster’s face, thus identifying their identity, but also detecting facts of the installation of special skimming devices on card reader and areas near PIN pads. In addition to the aforementioned security measures we use antiskimming pads and sensors placed on the card reader and to the areas near the PIN pads. The SFOUR company cares about its customers and uses all the latest security techniques for ATMs and transmission of information”.
