Card skimming is still a major problem, especially in the convenience store industry. Forecourt POS systems are ripe for tampering and with the delay in EMV implementation granted, late-adoption retailers are an even greater target. With other areas of non-EMV-compliance drying up (department stores, supermarkets), thieves look for the 'weakest link' in the security chain- convenience stores.

Data security risks are increasing and not limited to credit card fraud. Thieves are targeting Human Resources and Loyalty programs to extract greater amounts of data; from names, addresses and phone numbers to social security numbers, health records and investment information. In some cases, this information is then ransomed back to the companies themselves- at exorbitant amounts and often without reciprocation.
