skimming

D. Skimming. Skimming involves the unauthorized capture of credit card information by installing a device (skimmer) on a legitimate card reader, such as those found on self-service kiosks or ATMs. These skimming devices are designed to surreptitiously capture the magnetic stripe data or the chip information from credit or debit cards used at the compromised terminals. This stolen information can then be used for fraudulent purposes, including unauthorized transactions or identity theft.

definition of the word makes sense! Skimming is an illegal practice used by identity thieves to capture credit card information from a cardholder surreptitiously. Fraudsters often use a device called a skimmer that can be installed at gas pumps or ATM machines to collect card data. Some machines act like point-of-sale technology.
