THE THIEVES ARE OUT TO GET YOUR MONEY!!!! Don't let them take your hard earned money. Be aware before you insert your card. Here's a great video to watch about this https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CWdKiYYWZ/

The 2025 Stats at a Glance
• 90% Surge in Attacks: According to FICO's Card Alert Service data, the U.S. saw a staggering 90% year-over-year increase in the number of individual card compromise events compared to 2024.
• Compromised Cards on the Rise: Over 243,000 debit cards were identified as compromised by FICO in 2025 (a 5% increase from 2024), impacting more than 3,500 financial institutions.
• The Rise of Shimming: While traditional skimmers still make up the majority of devices, ultra-thin shimmers now account for roughly 15% of all physical card-reading interceptors found in the wild.
• Debit Cards are the Prime Target: An overwhelming 97% of skimming incidents target debit cards rather than credit cards, primarily because thieves want to capture PINs to withdraw cash directly from ATMs.
