Summary/Abstract: rauds with a hidden camera, touch sensors and a counterfeit payment card belong to the basic types of frauds in the e-banking and e-shopping field. The principle of frauds with a hidden camera and touch sensors is the same - by installing of a special equipment to obtain the PIN code.
