As a meta-comment why does everything bad need some sort of impetus to drive the point home? For example here, "...affects those most in need". Sure, I agree, it most likely does. This is obvious at it's face. If someone stole $500 from me I'd be pissed, but it wouldn't keep me from feeding my family.

It feels like news in general leverages this for extra views. Card skimming effects everyone that includes poor people. It's not "a little more okay" when it happens to people who are not needy. However, the language seems to imply this. Like card skimming wasn't an issue until it started having an effect on poor people. It really cheapens the article when I read this.
