Is it time to be concerned? A recent report found that hackers are now attacking the Windows based operating system of ATM’s. The most shocking to me was finding out that there are a large number of ATM’s that use Microsoft software. TG Daily has more quotes and a detailed analysis of the malware.
“Trustwave’s SpiderLabs performed the analysis of malware found installed on compromised ATMs in the Eastern European region. This malware captures magnetic stripe data and PIN codes from the private memory space of transaction-processing applications installed on a compromised ATM. The compromised ATMs ran Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system.”
