All but invisible:

[gizmodo.com]

In a little over a decade, ATM skimmers have gone from urban myth to a wildly complex, ever-evolving suite of technologies that has the potential to be the worst nightmare of anyone with a bank account. Here's a look at how quickly skimmers have evolved—and why they're increasingly impossible to spot.

Good article IMO because unlike most articles I have seen recently, this one shows lots of examples.

Be careful out there.

are you suggesting we should just use plastic? credit? what do you do when a vendor takes only cash? how do you pay at the beach, at the farmers market, the bus fare?

it is probably not only ATMs. Have you ever used a credit/debit card to pay parking? Subway tickets? these skimmers can be attached everywhere.

Every vendor at the last farmers market I was at had a square.
