Going far afield now, but a skimmer isn't going to get my pin, right? This was a card-present, atm cash withdrawal that happened.

So POS systems store pins? I can't imagine them being certified if they do, or for what reason they might.

AFAIK, the POS hacks all ended up with cc numbers, no pins.

There are skimmers that fit over the PIN pad, or that have cameras pointed at it.

POS systems aren't supposed to store PINs, but a compromised one certainly could.
