This button, which you press unconsciously at the ATM, resets your account.
Fraudsters manipulate the system by installing a special device inside bank ATMs. This system typically activates after a card is inserted, using a fake interface prompted by the screen. When users attempt to withdraw money or check their balance, they encounter a message such as "Confirm to continue transaction" or similar.
Pressing this button essentially authorizes the scammers' interface. The system then activates, hijacking the ATM keypad and card reader, and copies both your card information and PIN. Subsequently, those remotely connected to the system transfer your entire account balance to a different account.
