Abstract
A detection device for identification and isolation of unauthorized skimmer/shimmer devices takes the form of a portable electronics package adapted for deployment under or near a point-of-sale (POS) station that may be targeted by such skimmer. The detection device is intended for placement near or adjacent an electronic exchange of personal, financial, and/or sensitive information from a payment card, mobile device, or similar magnetic, optical, or radio frequency medium. Unscrupulous interception devices periodically transmit gathered information for reception. The detection device monitors transmissions for those having characteristics indicative of the unscrupulously gathered information, and renders an output signal alerting to the presence and location of an illicit capture device.
