Abstract
In some implementations, a physical medium for card skimming detection may include a magnetic stripe, on which account information associated with a user account may be stored, one or more sensors configured to detect when information is read from the magnetic stripe, and a processor. The physical medium may detect a first read and a second read of the magnetic stripe. The physical medium may determine that the first read and the second read occur within a time threshold of each other. The physical medium may transmit, to a device and based on determining that the first read and the second read occur with the time threshold of each other, an alert signal indicating a potential threat associated with the user account.
