Do this before withdrawing money from an ATM

[Cortedivoire]

Pressing the "cancel" button on an ATM before inserting your card can help prevent potential ATM fraud, specifically card skimming and card swapping. This action clears any previous transaction data and ensures that any lingering issues from a previous session are resolved, preventing criminals from potentially exploiting those residual issues.

How exactly does this prevent card skimming? What are these 'lingering issues from a previous session' ? If you're worried about 'lingering issues', shouldn't you press cancel AFTER your transaction? And is this a memory bug in the ATM software that has remained undiscovered all this time...?

This smells like Tiktok bullshit.
