Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for efficiently detecting skimmers on ATM/POS machines. The apparatus and method sends images of ATMs/ POS machines to a central service. LIDAR is used to take a detailed 3D image of the ATMs/ POS machine and the service generate a complete 3D model. The service include a database of different vendor ATMs/ POS machines, known skimmers, and a history of GPS coordinates and LIDAR 3D information. In an instance in which the LIDAR and images doesn’t match a known Vendor and/or past LIDAR/Image and GPS data do not match the current LIDAR/Image and GPS data, a warning is issued. The central service can proactively notify/send markings to authorization systems to deny transactions from that ATM/ POS machine and disable them, thus, successfully detecting known and unknown skimmers.
