A computer-implemented method for detecting and obstructing skimmer devices is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes monitoring wireless communications within a network environment. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying information associated with one or more wireless communications within the network environment transmitted by an unknown wireless device. The computer-implemented method further includes selecting an obstruction rule based, at least in part, on the information associated with the one or more wireless communications transmitted by the unknown wireless device. The computer-implemented method further includes executing an obstruction action corresponding to the selected obstruction rule.
