Cardholders' data were copied off four ATM booths of commercial banks and at least Tk 25 lakh was stolen last week. At least two foreigners seem to be directly involved in the crime. A skimming device is an illegal apparatus that can scan and copy date stored in the magnetic strips of cards. Fraudsters installed the devices at four ATMs -- two of the EBL and one each of the UCBL and the City Bank -- to filch data from cards used in the booths. Photo:collected
