    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for detecting the presence of a shimming device within a Europay, Mastercard and Visa (EMV) card reader. In aspects, a shimmer detection device is configured to detect characteristics that may be used to detect the presence of a shimmer within a card reader. In aspects, the shimmer detection device includes one or more sensors configured to collect data that is compared to reference sensor data to detect the presence of a shimmer within the card reader. An output is presented that indicates whether a shimmer is not present, likely present (e.g., the consumer or user should assume the scanned device contains a shimmer), or confirmed to be present. Such capabilities may enable user to test a device (e.g., a point of sale (POS) reader, an ATM, a fuel pump, etc.) to determine whether a shimmer is present and take mitigating action.
