The PCI Security Standards Council has released an update to its guidance for merchants on protecting against card skimming attacks in POS environments. The report, Skimming Prevention: Best Practices for Merchants, was released during the council’s North American Community Meeting on Sept. 10. The U.S. Secret Service estimates the cost to consumers and businesses at about $8 billion annually, the council says. With advancements in payment technology and new skimming techniques, merchants are especially at risk, it says. The updated guidance addresses new attack scenarios, including attacks that target mobile device weaknesses.”]
