ATM Skimming On The Rise
According to a report, ATM skimming rose 150 percent in 2008 in Europe, which makes it one of the fastest growing fraud crimes at the moment. Criminals use skimming devices on the ATM's to copy personal information from the magnetic strip on your debit card, and a small camera that can register your PIN code when you enter it. With this stolen information, the criminals can easily transfer your money to their account. However, thanks to ADT Securities who launched a fix for the problem, skimming cash cards at cash dispensers could be history in the future.

Clear account, good flow. Given the limited scope of the news, this is to be expected. Make sure that more intricate messages get the same treatment.
