“Rather than taking apart the entire dispenser to get in and look for a skimmer, this allows the service company or regulatory agency to do a quick scan.”
– Bill Callaway, Crompco Tank Testing
BlueSleuth allows law enforcement to isolate a single gas pump within a large gas station for example. This saves hours of tedious searching through kiosks and devices for hidden bluetooth card skimmers. BlueSleuth automatically alerts users to known skimmer device IDs in use such as HC-05, FREE2MOVE and HC-08 while also allowing users to investigate all other nearby devices and even criminals that wirelessly connect to these devices to retrieve stolen credit card numbers. In addition to locating bluetooth card skimmers, BlueSleuth is ideal for TSCM (Technical Surveillance Counter Measures) teams locating hidden wireless bluetooth bugs, microphones, and earpieces.
BlueSleuth can also be used to detect distracting or illegal contraband bluetooth devices such as smartphones, earbuds, MP3 players, fitness trackers and smartwatches. These devices can violate “NO WIRELESS ZONES” and pose a serious security threats to government, military and law enforcement facilities. BlueSleuth has become a standard issue tool for weights & measures and agricultural inspectors, fuel dispensing service providers and law enforcement.
