Thieves skim card data from US gas stations via Bluetooth-enabled devices

Thirteen people have been indicted for installing Bluetooth-enabled, banking-data-gobbling skimmers at gas stations in the Southern US. The defendants allegedly forged bank cards using the banking details from victims in the southern states; used the cards to deposit, withdraw and thereby launder $2.1 million (1.27 million) through ATMs and banks in New York City; and withdrew part of the stolen money on the West Coast. The devices were impossible for gasoline-buying customers to detect, given that the skimmers were installed internally, the DA said.”]
