The device you refer to can also be installed at ATM machines. To protect yourself from this it is best to try and utilize an ATM machine that is located inside of a bank or store and not in a remote area or an ATM not associated with a bank such as ones found in bars, nightclubs etc; Again, with the age of instant access to our accounts online, it pays to monitor your atm and credit cards frequently.
