Abstract
A payment terminal may include payment interfaces to receive payment information from payment devices. The payment interfaces can include an interface configured to receive a payment card. Monitoring components may monitor the payment interfaces. In addition, a detection signal can be provided while a payment card is communicatively coupled to its corresponding payment interface. The monitored information and the detection signal may be used by the payment terminal to determine whether a transaction is fraudulent or if a tamper attempt is ongoing, based on local test criteria. In addition, the monitored information and detection signal may be provided to a server, which may store the monitored information and detection signal, test for fraudulent transactions and tamper attempts based on server test criteria, and determine updates to the local test criteria.
