| The Wall Street Journal reports that criminals are stealing debit card data from U.S. automated teller machines at the highest rate in two decades, preying on ATMs while merchants crack down on fraud at the checkout counter. From January through April 9 of this year , attacks on debit cards at ATMs reached the highest level in at least 20 years, according to credit scoring firm FICO. The company tracks incidents through its card- monitoring service for financial institutions that represent more than 65% of all U.S. debit cards. Debit-card compromises at ATMs located on bank property jumped 174%, compared with the same period last year, while successful attacks at nonbank machines soared by 317%. | |||||||
