Credit card fraud is the primary type of identity theft according to the Federal Trade Commission (2020) and has been rapidly increasing in recent years with the emergence of new techniques and technologies. One such technology that has contributed to the rise in credit card fraud is the increase in credit card skimming schemes. We recently had the unique opportunity to dissect one of these real life skimming devices in an attempt to recover any compromised information. This exercise allowed us to practice various embedded penetration testing techniques and determine their pros and cons. This talk should also shed light into hardware security measures that should be taken to mitigate the extraction of the device information that was achieved in this example.
