From 2022: Thieves are stealing #SNAP funds electronically. In most states, victims never get reimbursed.
“They took every penny,” said one SNAP skimming victim, who can no longer afford to buy a Christmas present for his son.

By Elizabeth Chuck"Hidden skimming devices are being placed on card-swiping machines near cash registers to steal SNAP funds from electronic benefit transfer, or #EBT, cards. The devices are often plastic keypad overlays that look nearly identical to the card reader terminals themselves."

Black Skimmers (Rynchops niger) feed by dragging their long lower mandible through the water to detect fish by touch—then snap their jaws shut to catch them.

Kids, make sure you explain to your parents what card skimmers are, and why it's a terrible idea to slide debit cards into gas pumps -- before it happens to them. If they *have* to use debit cards, always look for tap-to-pay, even if the gas there isn't as cheap as their favorite place.

Dear friends of #enhancement,
My #Sainsburys #online shop now works from the fediverse. And so it bleeding well should. [#apologies for the swearing] #Securely working and without their hosted out 'service' and data scraping marketing-sharing, 'loyalty card' #mind poison. :ablobcatpopcorn: Now of course they still share my #data with their marketing #outsource [sound of spitting] BUT that is the best I can #manage at the mo. Have food prices gone through the #insulated roof? You bet your shirt. BUT I am as #frugal as a mouse on #price-watch.
#Please #eat #well. #Grow if you can. Not width. Look after yourself and family if #possible.
Also cook a Tory. Plenty of fat on most of those #skimmers. :ablobcatcoffee: -

Black #Skimmers live most in the South and Central America and the Caribbean, but some live on the US East Coast.
#BlackSkimmers feed by #skimming the water with their #beak open and the lower part in the water as they fly just over the surface.
The skimmers hope to catch fish, insects, and other small prey.
Sometimes they fly and feed together, seeming to #dance in the air.Get a print of this image at https://heronfox.pixels.com/featured/two-black-skimmers-feeding-heron-and-fox.html

CW: Long thread/7
These benefits are distributed via debit cards - #EBTCards - that lack the basic security measures every other kind of card has had for years. They're simple magstripe cards, lacking basic #ChipAndPin defenses, to say nothing of contactless countermeasures.
That means that fraudsters can - and do - install #skimmers in the point-of-sale terminals used by benefits recipients to withdraw their cash benefits, pay for food using #SNAP (AKA #FoodStamps), and receive other benefits.
