Two Chinese citizens were sentenced to one year in jail and fined Rs50,000 by a local court on Monday for their involvement in ATM fraud in Karachi.
Cyber crimes investigator Akbar khan,said Zhong Xiaming and Zhong Xianquan were arrested a year ago while attaching a skimming device to an ATM.
The foreigners were hand over to the fedral investigation agency(FIA),where a case was registered against them.
The FIA had also recovered Rs600,000 from the possession of the Chinese citizens.
The criminals used skimmers to capture banking data off debit and credit cards.
Skimmers are physical devices that are installed over the actual ATM card slots that read the data of the magnetic strips. They are often used in conjunction with hidden cameras that can film PIN numbers.
Several foreigners have been arrested for allegedly stealing data from banks using skimming devices at ATM facilities.
