Are there any security risks with using public transportation ticket machines?

  1. Avoid giving away financial information, such as credit/debit card numbers and bank details through select commands or other sources.
  2. Disregard any promotions of goods or services that are prompted through the ticket machine display and don’t provide any personal information.
  3. Pay attention to your surroundings while using the machine and report any suspicious activity.
  4. Be aware of your environment when you make a payment to be sure that people have not been able to install any physical devices that can steal your card information.
  5. Check the screen after making a payment to make sure the machine has properly processed the payment and hasn’t held any information that can be accessed later.
  6. Be sure to properly log out and delete all saved information before moving away from the ticket machine.
