The Courier Post reports:

Skimmers use a hidden malicious code scanner that's able to read and process the payment for the credit or debit card in use while also storing the information of the card as well.

The first device was discovered in Ocean County at an ATM inside Wawa, located at 379 Dover Road in South Toms River, according to a police Facebook post.

Police say the device was recovered, and they're investigating the situation.

Another skimmer was found at a supermarket in Camden County, New Jersey.
