Appears to have affected at least 5 atms in blanchardstown
True. typing with new nails on new phone and trying to calm my dad down at time.
Anyway word out now. More widespread than I thought. my dad had a medically required drink and found tales of at least 30 people affected
The local councillor has taken it up
Card cloning should never happen at at ATM IN A BRANCH. Deliberate bold caps.
What kind of joke operation is the bank running that they can't even be trusted to keep their own ATMs safe?
I think a formal complaint should be lodged with the bank if you are 100% sure the card is only used in the branch. The bank's procedures are simply not good enough. If you are using an ATM in the bank's premises, they are responsible for keeping it safe. Full stop.
It's that five atms have now been identified and all reported but nothing done.
....All reported to guards and bank. Nothing done
happens every day of the week to be honest, not just with UB but with every bank.
....Well if it that prevalent, surely banks should be upping their game on ATM security.
You would think that the answer was simply to design a more secure ATM, but perhaps the costs are prohibitive, or outweigh the cost of the various frauds (possibly after the Banks collect whatever insurance cover they have to help offset the risk ?).
Ultimately, I think it's down to a case of the never ending game of cat and mouse between honest and dishonest people - the fraudsters will always be trying to commit fraud and the good guys will always be trying to catch them.
