Tens of thousands of euros stolen with copied credit cards

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"The National Bureau of Investigation is investigating some 250 cases of credit card and bank card fraud in Vantaa[, 
Finland]. About 70,000 euros had been withdrawn from cash machines in Russia with copies of the cards."

This shortened version of Finnish language article doesn't include information that there was an unknown device 
connected to to cash machine. But they need the PIN code in local system too, it is not known how they managed to get PIN 
codes (to use ATMs).
