ATM skimming, capturing card holder's card information by way of devices often attached to or placed around an ATM while they use the machine, has been slow to catch on the U.S. But Chicago thieves have been catching up.
Police are confirming media accounts of two ATM thieves which made off with $70,000 from a bank ATM after they attached a device to the machine to record card data and used a camera to record a card holder's personal identification numbers as they punched them in.
