Why You Should ALWAYS Shield The Numeric Keypad When Using an ATM

I’ve recently started being paranoid about shielding the numeric keypads of all ATMs I use. I guess it stands to reason since I got my debit card cloned 2 times in the past 6 months. Fortunately, banks usually reimburse the money stolen from your account because of a cloned card, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be careful. Here’s a short video showing what’s going on at an ATM when someone covers or does not cover the keypad when entering their pin.
