Bank ATM's Converted to Steal IDs of Bank Customers

A team of organized criminals are installing equipment on legitimate bank ATM's in at least 2 regions to steal both the ATM card number and the PIN. The team sits nearby in a car receiving the information transmitted wirelessly over weekends and evenings from equipment they install on the front of the ATM (see photos). If you see an attachment like this, do not use the ATM and report it immediately to the bank using the phone on the front of the ATM.

The equipment used to capture your ATM card number and PIN are cleverly disguised to look like normal ATM equipment. A "skimmer" is mounted to the front of the normal ATM card slot that reads the ATM card number and transmits it to the criminals sitting in a nearby car.

At the same time, a wireless camera is disguised to look like a leaflet holder and is mounted in a position to view ATM PIN entries.

The thieves copy the cards and use the PIN numbers to withdraw thousands from many accounts in a very short time directly from the bank ATM.

The equipment as it appears installed over the normal ATM bank slot.




The PIN reading camera being installed on the ATM is housed in an innocent looking leaflet enclosure.

No IAS officer is this transparent

Most bureaucrats are known for fiercely guarding their secrets. But BESCOM chief P Manivannan has nothing to hide. Log on to www.bescom.org to catch him live at work

CCTV cameras installed for security reasons in government offices are common enough. But one IAS officer has taken the electronic eyes into a different dimension altogether. He is the Bangalore-based Bescom managing director, P Manivannan

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
Online image of BESCOM chief Manivannan (circled) from the CCTV cameras installed in his office


With one determined stroke, he has cut the Gordian knot of secrecy and corruption that define the bureaucracy in the public mind. The CCTV cameras installed in his chamber are linked to Bescoms website, and anyone can go online and see what the MD is doing at any time of the day be it meeting politicos or his officials, or even having his lunch!

All that one has to do is go to www.bescom.org and click on the link, view of MD chamber, to catch the action inside Manivannans cabin in the power utilitys office at K R Circle. Two cameras strategically fitted into the ceiling capture every movement inside the cabin. The footage is available in real time on the website. The move is reportedly the first step by the engineer-bureaucrat in making Bescom more consumer-friendly while emphasising its public obligations under the Transparency Act.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.netMost IAS officers do not even keep their cabin doors open. Some others, including those with the Lokayukta, have spy cameras fitted in their chambers to nail those who offer them inducements. But Manivannan is the first to allow the whole world to see all that transpires in his cabin, said an admiring Bescom junior engineer.

Throughout his career, Manivannan has had a reputation for honesty and sincerity the very attributes that have made his transfers controversial. His transfer from the Hubli-Dharwad Corporation evoked public protests, while his transfer from the post of Mysore DC led to street demos by students and other citizens. One politico who has realised his true worth is energy minister Shobha Karandlaje. As in-charge minister of Mysore district earlier, she had a first-hand knowledge of Manivannans capabilities. Not willing to lose a gem of a bureaucrat, she roped him in as soon as she landed the energy portfolio.

For other Bescom offices too
A senior Bescom official told Bangalore Mirror, The idea is to install these cameras in all Bescom offices, and we have started by installing them in the MDs cabin.

Another official said, When you know that somebody is watching your actions, you will be more cautious. After all, we are government officials and have to be accountable to the public.

The two cameras diagonally opposite each other provide a view of the entire chamber. Thye have been installed at a cost of Rs 18,000 and have an ethernet link.

This is one of those very good mails which we can keep on circulating because everyone can relate to atleast one of the items mentioned here...


1. EVERY ONE KNOWS ABOUT ALEXANDER GRAHAM
BELL WHO INVENTED PHONES, BUT HE NEVER MADE A CALL TO HIS FAMILY. BECAUSE HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE DEAF. THAT'S LIFE - " LIVE FOR OTHERS " .

2. THE WORST IN LIFE IS "ATTACHMENT " IT HURTS WHEN YOU LOSE IT. THE BEST THING IN LIFE IS " LONELINESS " BECAUSE IT TEACHES YOU EVERYTHING AND WHEN YOU LOSE IT YOU GET EVERYTHING.


3. LIFE IS NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ACT TRUE TO YOUR FACE ........ ITS ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO REMAIN TRUE BEHIND YOUR FACE
.

4. EGG BROKEN FROM OUTSIDE FORCE....... .A LIFE ENDS. --------- IF AN EGG BREAKS FROM WITHIN...... .LIFE BEGINS .. ------------ ---- GREAT THINGS ALWAYS BEG
IN FROM WITHIN .

5. ITS BETTER TO LOSE YOUR EGO TO THE ONE YOU LOVE THAN TO LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE ....... BECAUSE OF EGO .


6. A RELATIONSHIP DOESN'T SHINE BY JUST SHAKING HANDS IN GOOD TIMES. BUT IT BLOSSOMS BY HOLDING FIRMLY IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS ..


7. HEATED GOLD BECOMES ORNAMENTS. BEATEN COPPER BECOMES WIRES. DEPLETED STONE BECOMES STATUE. SO MORE PAIN, MORE GAIN (VALUABLE).


8. WHEN YOU TRUST SOMEONE TRUST HIM
/HER COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY DOUBT....... ....... AT THE END YOU WOULD GET ONE OF THE TWO : EITHER A LESSON FOR YOUR LIFE OR A VERY GOOD PERSON .


9. WHY WE HAVE SO MANY TEMPLES , IF GOD IS EVERYWHERE ? A WISE MAN SAID : AIR IS EVERYWHERE, BUT WE STILL NEED A FAN TO FEEL IT
