in Gas Pump Skimmers, a direct reply to the story

The overwhelming "defaultness" of the whole thing makes me think these were actually intended as conversion adapters or something else that wasn't purpose-built for pump skimming. The complete lack of code protection (setting it is literally a single checkbox in the programming utility --- and almost all commercial products with an MCU will have this protection enabled), leaving the markings on the chips (I've seen more legal devices with them scrubbed off), and default password unchanged are the most noticeable.

Googling "bluetooth magnetic card reader" also yields quite a few results like this one:
