A store employee wipes down a credit and debit card payment machine in this file photo. Oregon officials are warning the public, and especially people who use food and cash benefits cards from the state, to be on the lookout for skimming devices placed on the machines when employees aren't looking. Officials say these benefit cards may be more vulnerable to theft than credit cards used by a wider swath of the public.(Lisa DeJong/The Plain Dealer)
