Systems, methods, and apparatuses for using an anomaly deterrent sensor within a self-service machine for dispensing physical items

A computer program product for using an anomaly deterrent sensor within a self-service machine for dispensing physical items, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code causing an apparatus to:

• detect an interaction between a payment instrument with available resources and a self-service machine for dispensing physical items;
• receive an anomaly notification from an anomaly deterrent sensor within the self-service machine for dispensing physical items,
• wherein the anomaly notification is associated with forced entry into the self-service machine for dispensing physical items,
• wherein the anomaly deterrent sensor detects forced entry into a physical item dispensing area within the self-service machine for dispensing physical items during the interaction between the payment instrument and the self-service machine;
• and
• trigger a set of security measures associated with the self-service machine for dispensing physical items upon reception of the anomaly notification originating from the anomaly deterrent sensor,
• wherein the set of security measures comprises playing a pre-recorded alarm from the self-service machine for dispensing physical items after reception of the anomaly notification from the anomaly deterrent sensor.
