Abstract:
Devices and methods for detecting credit card skimmers are provided herein. A device can include a printed circuit board having a pattern of electrical traces on its surface, and a computer readable medium comprising instructions that cause a processor to direct an electrical voltage to a trace and detect an electrical current between two points of the trace. A gap can be disposed between the two points across which a voltage is applied in order to detect a magnetic reader. A count of the detected magnetic readers within a credit card reading device may be indicative of the presence of a credit card skimmer.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for detecting the presence of a credit card skimmer, the device comprising:\n a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a pattern of electrical traces on its surface, wherein the PCB is configured to be insertable into a credit card reader or scanner; and a non-transitory machine-readable medium in operable communication with the PCB and comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause at least one processor to: direct an electrical voltage to a trace of the pattern of electrical traces, and detect an electrical current between two points of the trace, wherein the pattern comprises a gap disposed between the two points.
