Skimmers are used by criminals to steal the PIN numbers from customers using ATM services. It has become a worldwide problem, and the technology used has become more advanced.
ATM card readers built inside the ATM machines can read the magnetic strip that contains every information about the ATM card including the PIN number.
It is required for authentication purposes. The system does not have any means of finding out if the person using the ATM card is the actual customer. So, the banks issue a PIN number to the customer and ask him/her to keep it safely and not share with anyone else. This lets the bank assume that anyone who knows the correct PIN number for an ATM card is a valid customer and lets them use the ATM machine. So, it is our responsibility to keep our PIN numbers safe.
ATM PIN is stored as secured information in the magnetic strip of the card, which is recognized by the machine once the card is put in and PIN is typed. To know more about secured ATM PIN check Nationalcash.

It means that you or someone else used your ATM or Debit Card with an invalid PIN number. Most ATM machines have a maximum number of incorrect tries (Usually 5) after which the machine will retain the card and freeze the account. For example, you lost your ATM card and I find it. I can use the same card in an ATM machine to try to withdraw cash but since I don't know your PIN number, I try random numbers. After my 5th attempt, the machine will retain the card because I don't know the correct PIN and if the system allows me to continue I might guess the correct PIN and withdraw money when I am not supposed to.
To verify to the ATM machine's software that you are who you say you are.
