Police: Taping your debit card

"Going out with tips to put a spanner in the works for the decepticons"

"Fraudsters can get their hands on your information in no time and drain your account."

"Now calls on the police to the public to tape over the CVV code."

"But Sten Karlsson, who works with card security, goes a step further:

"– My advice is to scrape away the code."

"the Police now urge all with debit cards to protect themselves against kortkapare: Hide the CVV code on the back."

"With a visible code, fraudsters can easily run your card on the money, for example, by taking a photo or scan of the card."

"the Name of the holder, the card number and the CVV code are all that is needed to make internet purchases around the world."

"To tape or paint over the code with, for example, Tipp-ex is a way to protect themselves."

"' Self-tape I'm now over the CVV code with a thin, opaque tape. The adhesive tape is difficult to remove for a scammer, also I notice if there has been,” writes Anders Olofsson at the police bedrägerirotel in Stockholm on the police national bedrägerisida on Facebook."

"By hiding the code, it becomes difficult for unauthorized persons to come across the data, for example, when you leave you card on a purchase. It can also protect against'm skimming at atms, says Sten Karlsson, managing director, West International, which is working with the payment for the means."

"At'm skimming the reading a webcam or an optical scanner of the card."

"– If it is övertejpad it is not possible to film. My advice is to scrape away the code, but type it up, says Sten Karlsson."

"the Catch is that there can be difficulties to trade overseas with a taped or painted cards."

"– If it gets control, it happens that the traders are reacting to the fact that there is damage on the card. But the risk, I think you should take, " says Sten Karlsson."

"He also gives the council to never leave the card - not even in restaurants."

" most of The restaurants have the latest kortläsarutrustningen where you draw the card yourself. But there is a part that takes your card and scans at the restaurant's kassaplats. It is a very easy way for someone to get information."

"another piece of advice is to be mindful of if the card reader looks mysterious."

"– It may be that the slot where you insert the card is wrong or that the keypad looks plastic. Be vigilant when you use your card."
