High-tech thieves plant money ?bugs?

Clever real-world credit card thieves apparently have a new high-tech tool in their arsenal. A credit card terminal maker says it has discovered the existence of small, number-stealing electronic ?bugs.? The devices can be secretly placed inside store terminals, where they ?skim? card numbers with each transaction. The bugs are even smart enough to trick a terminal into ?phoning home,? delivering batches of stolen numbers to fake credit card manufacturing locations. While acknowledging the threat may be real, Visa International and other terminal makers caution that use of the James Bond-esque device is hardly widespread.
