Technique for determining a PIN code from a video recording of a hand-covered entry in an ATM

Submitted by

A team of researchers from the University of Padua (Italy) and the University of Delft (Netherlands) have published a method for using machine learning to reconstruct an entered PIN code from a video recording of the hand-covered input area of ​​an ATM. When entering a 4-digit PIN code, the probability of predicting the correct code is estimated at 41%, taking into account the possibility of making three attempts before blocking. For 5-digit PIN codes, the prediction probability was 30%. […]
