There also is the technique of completely replacing an ATM in say a mall. Read about that one a couple times. Some ATMs in convenience stores and even retail chains like Walgreens and CVS already look sketchy enough.

A couple years ago someone brought a fake ATM into Defcon.

I'd also like to point out that it was placed there by local criminals, not the conference attendees. It was however discovered by the attendees and the hotel was notified and the offending ATM was turned over to police.

Were these the most idiotic criminals of all time?

"Hey, Bob! Let's place our ATM skimmer right in the middle of a bunch of FBI goons and security experts!"
