Diebold ATMs hit by Nachi Worm

red floyd writes "The Register is reporting confirmation that Diebold ATMs were hit by the Nachi worm back in August. Apparently some Diebold ATMs run XP Embedded, and got hit with a variant of the RPC DCOM worm. Seems that they hadn't yet applied the available patch."

How the hell did this troll get modded "Insightful"?

Hasn't anyone heard of the FDIC? Banks don't pass the cost of theft on to their customers; they're insured.

Please let me know somewhere that I can lounge around doing nothing all day w/o the need for money.

Well, work is necessary, with or without money. Corn comes the result of hard work, as does fresh meat, and readily-available fresh water. Money merely abstracts the bartering that would otherwise occur.

As far as doing nothing, you can vote for a Democrat and sit and watch the country decompose from the inside out as tax pressures balloon out of control (hint: this is not an argument for any Republican canidates...I need to say this because of the strictly polarized idea of politics most people have).
