Good afternoon,
I have sent out the current teams as well as those that are not part of a team. I’ve created this post for you to form teams, if you want me to just place you on a team please send me an e-mail. Either way I’ll create and update the Black Board document Friday morning 2/9 with what is here and what I have gotten as e-mail for the final teams for future assignments.

Skimming is a form of theft by which credit card or debit card information is stolen/captured by recording by installing a bit of technology, typically at the credit card terminal.
While more banks are issuing credit and debit cards containing a minute computer chip these days, which is more difficult to forge, not all vendors accept them yet. So, most cards still have magnetic strips attached to the back of the cards. This makes it possible to steal the information from the strips and allows criminals to use the fake cards created by skimming. It is difficult to identify whether a skimming device is installed in the ATM or not because of the miniature size of the device and different places where criminals install.. All the retail outlet should use few protective steps like running a baseline scan of the store, installing skimmer detection devices, inspecting the seal etc
