Printed ATM; Law enforcement authorities in our neighboring Bulgaria arrested 31 individuals in the Imperium business. Imperium has been made possible by an agreement signed by the countries of the European Union and allows them to exchange information and coordinate efforts when it comes to financial and other crimes. 
Those arrested are accused of forming a gang that with technology 3D printing produced replacement ATMs. The parts of course were made to rob people.
Police raids uncovered eight different facilities used for sophisticated skimming and counterfeiting.
Over 1.000 small cameras, card readers, magnetic strips, smartphones, flash drives, personal computers and more. A large number of blank plastic cards were also discovered.
Fraudsters used blank cards to encode them with stolen account data. So if you were from the unlucky people who stole your bank account, even if you did not take out a credit or debit card, the scammers had the opportunity to make it at home.
Apart from Bulgaria the scammers had base and Spain. Meanwhile the hacked ATMs were based in Spain, Italy, the France, Germany and Turkey. Counterfeit cards from compromised ATMs were then circulated in Peru, the Philippines, or other countries outside the European Union.
The 3D printers were used to construct false bezels (card receivers). These facades were placed on the front of the ATM where there is a card slot. Any cards that passed from there passed their data to the crooks.
