| Mirrors help make ATMs safer |
BEIJING, April 21 -- Some local banks will add rear-view mirrors to their cash machines in a bid to improve security.
A representative of Shanghai People's Congress, Bo Haibao, suggested the move. He proposed the plan at congress sessions each of the past two years.
"I suggest the ATM machines should have rear-view mirrors so that card users can be more prepared for any password peepers or possible attacks from behind," Bo told Shanghai Evening Post.
Bo said his proposals had received a good response from some local banks and a pilot program to install mirrors on some ATMs had begun.
The move also follows the case of a young woman who was stabbed to death by two robbers at an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China ATM in the early hours of March 22 last year on downtown Jiangning Road.
