My conspiracy is, these malware should have been feed into the system via the inbuilt chip or magnet stripe from the Credit card by wiping its data with malware and then feeding it into the system.
I'm confused, I hope someone can elaborate. The first ATM machine was introduced in 1967, we had so many years to secure it, yet it sounds like a child play to reach these via LAN. I mean, how can somebody possibly installed something from a workstation, which then copies itself into an ATM. That would be an epic failure of bank security. This is, in my world, senseless and stupidity. I have read from the local media and newspapers that these installations were done through a CD… WTF? Is it even possible to reach that many ATM machines via CD? Or we can suspect it spread through LAN. Can someone elaborate on this better than the media? I'll shoot out my questions: I have a hard time understanding, how this malware even can reach to the ATM machines itself? I thought ATM machines are in closed and secure network with no or very limited access to anything apart from the specific LAN. Some security experts suspects that this malware have been misused in other countries such as USA, India, China, Israel, France and Malaysia as well.
I recently read about a "malware" in the financial sector ((banks), to be more specific, and these malware targets ATM machines which has been compromised around the globe).Īpproximately 3 million Malaysian Ringgit (almost 1 million USD) was stolen from 18 ATMs Malaysia alone, and this malware has been found in more than 50 different ATM machines in Eastern Europe as well.
