BBCより。Ticket machine card fraud rise in EU
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22013231
Five out of 23 European countries reported an increase in card-skimming devices attached to transport ticket machines, according to new research.

A report published by the European ATM Security Team (East) in March also found a rise in skimmers found on parking ticket meters in two countries.

Card skimmers, which steal bank card data, are more commonly attached to cash machines by criminals.

Unstaffed pay-at-pump petrol stations were also targeted in six countries.

The report did not identify individual countries but France, Germany, Russia and the UK were among those which supplied information about card fraud activity to East.

British Transport Police told the BBC that while it is was aware of the issue on rail ticket machines it was "not a major problem" in the UK.

According to the UK Cards Association, fraud losses on cards in the UK alone totalled £185m in the first six months of last year.

Once the card data has been copied, fraudsters can then get a cloned card made containing the information of the original account holder.

ＥＵ諸国のうちの５カ国で、カードスキミング、つまり、カード情報を抜き取る装置が、チケット販売機に付けられていたという話。
これは、日本でもクレジットカードが撮影されるカメラがＡＴＭなどに付いているケースが発見されており、時々、ＡＴＭに注意書きがあったりする。
クレジットカード決済はカード番号と裏のセキュリティーナンバーで成立したりするので、要注意だ。
一番簡単なのは裏に付箋を貼っておくってことだろうか。
そして、挿入するときは隠して挿入。
財布にしまう際にはきちんと付箋。
なかなか大変な世の中になったものである。
