Just how big is the problem?
If you've used any sort of plastic in a Chip & PIN device in a shop in Ireland recently - check your statements.
To prevent your PIN being compromised and crooks hitting ATM's get yourself Chip & Signature Credit Cards. An additional plus is you'll never be asked, how did the crook get your PIN. No cardholder liability.
