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."

    Who needs security when the system can't even run stabily?

    That's like saying people on 56k dialup who are online for about an hour a day on average don't need firewalls.

    Heck, I get a firewall up before I even think about going online!
