  • a sensor unit configured and arranged for detecting a movement of an object inserted into or ejected from a card slot of an automated teller machine (ATM) and a user who inserts the object, the sensor unit having at least one of an impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) communication sensor a Lidar, a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar, and a Doppler radar; and

    a control unit configured and arranged for determining whether or not a card skimmer is inserted into the card slot on basis of whether or not the object is ejected after the object is inserted,wherein the sensor unit detects whether the object is inserted into the card slot or ejected from the card slot via a distance from the object inserted into the card slot,wherein when another object inserted into the card slot is detected in a state that the object is inserted into the card slot, the control unit determines that the object is a card skimmer.
