Kamble explains that fraudsters install a duplicate machine on the card inserter and a camera on the machine to capture the ATM pin/password of the customer. When a customer inserts the car, their digital information is stolen. Similarly, the fraudsters steal the ATM pin through the camera, when a user inserts the pin.
