There’s a growing threat to your credit and debit card information, and you might not be aware of it.
It’s called “shimming.”
Scammers insert paper-thin devices into credit card chip readers that can copy your data.
The information can’t be used to make a chip card clone, but it can be used to create a traditional mag-stripe card, which could be used to fraudulently make purchases or withdraw cash, according to Creditcards.com.
