banks could kill this problem overnight by implementing additional verification steps for cardholders. For example, banks could require cardholders to enter their PIN code for all transactions, regardless of the amount. This would make it much more difficult for skimmers to steal card data.
The UK has largely implemented this type of verification already, and it has been very effective in reducing skimmer attacks. In fact, the number of skimmer attacks in the UK has fallen by over 90% since the additional verification steps were implemented.
