Citibank Tries to Hush ATM Crypto Vulnerability

Posted by michael on from the be-vewwy-vewwy-qweit dept.

palme999 writes "Citibank is trying to get a gag order for new vulnerabilities found in the cryptographic equipment commonly used to protect the PINs of ATM transactions. The vulnerabilities came to light during a court case involving 'phantom' ATM transactions that users deny making but that banks still charge to customers accounts because they claim their systems are secure."

    ... if ATMs continued to run OS/2.

    Hmm.

    Q:How many virii or hacks against an OS/2 kernel have you ever heard of?

    A:None. My point exactly.

    Won't changing your PIN from the initial one the bank assigns you avoid this problem?

    Blow me.

    To correct one's grammer or verbage is trolling. I was simply pointing out that there was NEVER a virus for OS/2. Sure, IBM killed it and a majority (all?) of the banks moved on to using Windows-based ATMs.

    I have a right to talk about OS/2 -- I used to support it AT IBM. Don't like it? I care, really.
