Good morning! There was once a TV broadcast in which it was said that it’s very dangerous to withdraw money from ATMs, because there fraudsters put special devices that can read the code from the card.

Irina, good afternoon! It is really unsafe to withdraw money from ATMs (except for ATMs located in bank branches). In one of these programs, Group-IB employees participated as experts. In this case, the fault of the cardholder can be considered only that he did not foresee the dangerous consequences of such a transaction. We recommend that you use the card in bank branches, this is the safest option.

It is also necessary to install SMS informing about operations. Almost all banks have this option. Well, choose places with a decent reputation. : D Although this does not always work, but nonetheless ...

Absolutely correct.
When he was at home, he worked in the Security Council of one of the banks, sorted out several times in situations when people inexplicably deducted amounts from accounts, it turned out that this was the case, in restaurants and shops several times carried out a card and deducted more than necessary, respectively .
