<<Little said no one is sure how the PIN number was obtained, but "presumably (the culprit) was peeking,">>

PIN is usually obtained by the crooks through little remote camera eye, being set up so it can see the customer punching PIN. The problem is much worse when the fiber optic line from the store got reading device on. The obtained this way information contains both credit card code and debit cards info. Advice for users - change the PIN often, check the statement on your CC.
