Users warned as ATM skimming device found

GARDAÍ are warning ATM users in Cork to be extra vigilant after a skimming device was recovered from a bank machine outside a supermarket last weekend.

The device, which can copy PIN numbers and card details, was recovered from an ATM at a SuperValu store in Glanmire on the afternoon of February 5.

Once discovered, approximately 600 official garda text messages were sent to residents advising them to check their bank accounts if they had used the machine in the previous 24 hours.
