Excellent and highly irrelevant stock photo placement :

Chip and Pin machine

Anyhow "SHOCK HORROR" people messing with Chip and Pin machines nothing new there then. Article on BBC, dribbles on how about the details are still usefull in countries with no chip and pin still, still old news to most though :

"Criminals are tampering with chip-and-pin terminals in shops to steal customers' bank card details, Radio 4's Money Box programme has learned. The problem has led the bank cards industry to issue guidelines to retailers. The British Retail Consortium says it believes stricter security has eliminated the problem. The UK bank cards industry however believes this sort of fraud is continuing despite the new measures."

Orig. Article here : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8437606.stm

PS : Look long and hard enough you will find Tetris running on a chip and pin machine so... LoL :p Or verisons with the GPS module replaced with a wifi module... ill say no more on that ;)
