Walmart has implemented bright yellow protective rims around its self-checkout PIN pads in response to a rise in card skimming incidents. This initiative, described humorously by a Reddit user as a 'chastity belt,' aims to deter skimmer devices that often look like part of the checkout machinery. These devices illegally capture sensitive card data. Feedback from customers highlights a general approval for this enhancement, with some suggesting it is more effective than previous protective measures. The move underscores Walmart's commitment to improving customer security in shopping environments.
"My manager called it a chastity belt for the pin pad."
"I think this might be protecting the reader from people attaching skimmers."
