Virginia EBT Card Skimming Alert | Roanoke News
Description
Virginia families bracing for August EBT deposits face a looming threat: no new security measures are in place to stop card skimming. Over a dozen Danville households have already been hit this July, with thieves stealing card and PIN data at three local stores—no physical devices found. A federal rule change means stolen SNAP funds won’t be reimbursed, leaving victims out of pocket. Officials urge immediate action: lock your card via the ConnectEBT app, change your PIN often, and watch your balance. Never share your PIN or card number. Relief is on the way—starting September, all Virginia EBT cards will switch to secure chip technology, dramatically reducing future fraud risk.
