Diebold ATMs hit by Nachi Worm

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-makes-me-feel-safe dept.

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."

    What I am concerned about is whether or not my bank that I use uses Embedded XP for their ATMs. If so then I might have to consider switching banks.

    Sheep are free, too, when they aren't inside a fence and the domain of a shepherd.

    Sure the engineers at Diebold could leave if they wanted, but employment where real thought isn't required and no one cares about quality is addictive to people who don't want a real job but need that paycheck twice a month.
