How it works
Skimming devices have been attached to ATMs in Bengaluru, including incidents at major bank branches, allowing criminals to clone debit card magnetic stripes while hidden cameras or fake keypads capture PIN entries. Victims typically discover funds have been withdrawn despite retaining their physical card. Standalone ATM kiosks in less-monitored commercial areas and around Majestic are higher-risk locations. ATM fraud in India rose 22% in 2024, with Bengaluru among the affected cities.
