Skimming attacks at a large mall in Surabaya
July 17, 2024, 3:20 p.m.
1 According to information obtained from the local police, skimming attacks targeting contactless cards have been occurring in large malls in the center of Surabaya. It appears that there have been cases where card information has been instantly extracted, resulting in high-value payments being made in a short period of time. The criminals approach customers passing through malls and those choosing products, and extract card information by placing a special machine close to where the credit card is thought to be.
2. As countermeasures, please use an RFID-compatible card case that can block the magnetic information of credit cards, and if someone approaches you in an unnatural way, please protect your wallet or bag with your hand. Please be especially careful when you have your wallet in your back pocket or a shoulder bag with your wallet inside hanging on your back, as you are likely to be targeted.
