Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009109543A1] On self-service terminals (such as an automatic teller), so-called skimming modules are attached in a fraudulent manner by manipulation in order to read the data of a magnetic strip card inserted into the card reader (10). As a remedy, a protective device (26, 28) is proposed, which has a protective field generator (26) and an inductor (28) associated therewith for generating an electromagnetic protective field (29) in order to impair the function of the piracy device (SM). To this end, a protective signal is generated, which simulates such a signal that occurs when reading magnetic strip cards. As a result, the reading of a magnetic strip card is imitated in the possibly present skimming module. In particular, the protective signal may comprise pseudo data, which blends with the actual card data, or completely superimposes said data, during demodulation such that the third party ultimately receives unusable data.
