I contacted my CU and I was reassured they are taking proper steps. I hope yours is as well.

1. Does this mean a customer is more vulnerable if

they use ATMs or if they simply have a checking account?

2. afaik, if you use an ATM that is not properly secured

I'm hoping all banks and CU's are aware of this and resolving it.

3. Yikes. I hope my credit union is on the ball.

They probably are, since they're the state employee CU, but I'll be asking next time I go in. I've got some things to take care of anyway.

5. I was just told that if your ATM,

when it accepts your card, has this stiff, jittery motion, then that is part of the anti-fraud hardware and software.
