Now, however, the new credit card skimmers are harder to detect and adept at swiping information. If you prefer to use Android Pay instead of swiping a credit card, though, you should make sure that your device remains secure. Use the Full Virus Scan to check your phone and SD card for any information-stealing malware or havoc-causing viruses. If it finds anything amiss, it will take care of it for you.

The new devices are small, slim, and fit right inside the cavity of the credit card slot. When a user swipes his or her card, the data is taken. If you think that entering your pin number keeps you safe from this theft, think again. A spy camera will then capture you typing in your PIN number. The thieves now have everything they need to begin using your money anywhere, any way they want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new chip bank cards are one way to help thwart thieves, but the problem has now moved to the U.S., as American banking institutions were slow to respond with chip cards to block this type of theft. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Keep Your Personal Info Protected<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can you protect yourself from this sneakier thievery? You can start by using your other hand to cover your pin as you enter it in. It\u2019s a simple step that most people skip. Anyone watching, whether in-person or through a spy camera, won\u2019t be able to take your data with an obstructed view. If you\u2019ve received a chip card, get it activated and use it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"psafe:\/\/launch\/antitheft\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8047\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8047\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Activate-Anti-theft02-300x78.jpg\" alt=\"Activate Anti-theft02\" width=\"300\" height=\"78\" \/><\/a><\/center><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also take advantage of DFNDR\u2019s various Anti-Theft features. If you lose your phone, the last thing you want is for it to fall into the wrong hands \u2014 especially if you pay for goods with Android Pay. With all that personal data and financial information on your phone, thieves would have a field day. Click above to protect your phone in case of loss or theft:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Anti-Theft you can lock down your phone\u2019s data, see your phone\u2019s location, and sound an alarm to find it. You can remotely access these functions, and more, even when the phone isn\u2019t on. When it is powered up and active, your responses will push through and help prevent any data loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thieves have upped their game.
