SAN JOSE, Calif., March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
There was a 10 percent increase in the number of payment cards compromised at U.S. ATMs and merchants in 2017, Silicon Valley analytic software firm FICO reported today. The number of compromised card readers at U.S. ATMs, restaurants and merchants rose 8 percent in 2017.

FICO's data comes from the FICO® Card Alert Service, which monitors hundreds of thousands of ATMs and other readers in the US. These figures cover only card fraud occurring at physical devices, not online card fraud.
"The number of compromises and the number of card members impacted set a new record last year," said TJ Horan, vice president of fraud solutions at FICO. "While most devices are safe, fraudsters are developing new technology and methods for hacking ATMs. This is why it's important for consumers to be cautious when withdrawing cash, and also for them to check their account regularly and confirm that all the transactions on their debit card are legitimate."
