The large selection of equipment is often confusing. Today we will talk about the world brand of atm Wincor Nixdorf, what it is. These atmas can be found all over the world.
The atmas of this company are presented in different series and modifications.

Any ATM manufacturer strives to protect their ATMs. We will not analyze in this article the features of data transmission protection protocols and the level of reliability of the degree
armor compartment with cash, we will analyze in detail the protection against skimming, both passive and proactive. And we will also understand how the defense itself played in favor of skimmers for these ATM models.

Anti-skimming passive protection, these are ordinary plastic anti-skimmers, they are installed in ATM card readers in order to protect them from being installed in the same recesses of skimmers. There is a massive "informational informing" of the cardholders that the Atm should look exactly this way and nothing else. And as a result, the cardholders memorized the external design of the original anti-skimmers. But not all the atmas were equipped with anti-skimmers. And somewhere, these anti-skimmers were even dismantled. As a result, on average, the entire model range is 50% to 50% with or without anti-skimmers, depending on the country and region.

Well, since cardholders are accustomed to the design and the presence of such anti-skimmers on 50% of the ATMs, skimmers appeared, visually resembling the exact similarity to anti-skimmers.

Look closely at the photos for yourself. Find similarities, possible differences.

An illustrative example.

The banks decided to supplement the protection and installed the so-called proactive anti-skimming tools. One of such jitter, jitter is a device that allows you to make the input, output of the card not smoothly, but in jerks, thus excluding the possibility of reading dumps for most skimmers, which unfortunately once again demonstrates the uselessness of most classic flash skimmers assembled on readers and shows the advantages of audio technologies.

As a result, we can conclude that the appearance of anti-skimmers for this model range was the reason for giving the skimmer the anti-skimmer forms. Well, the massive informing of the population about the role of anti-skimmers in this model range, and the appearance of such anti-skimmers, played in favor of the skimmers themselves.
