Mississippi Busts Credit Card Skimmers | Hattiesburg News

Mississippi just smashed a major credit card skimmer crackdown, pulling off Operation Stronghold that hit 400+ businesses and inspected 2,000 terminals — uncovering three sneaky skimmers each worth up to $1 million in fraud. That brings their annual haul to 56 recovered devices. Beyond busting tech, they trained banks, cops, and merchants on spotting, reporting, and preserving evidence — a full-force collaboration across federal, state, and local agencies. The AG’s office also dropped smart tips: use tap or chip instead of swiping, watch for odd-looking readers, and if you spot something, act fast. Check out the AG’s site for real-life skimmer pics — stay alert, stay safe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
