Wells Fargo Web-Enables ATMs

Posted by Zonk on from the free-money dept.

smooth wombat writes "Wells Fargo has completed a five-year project to Web-enable its 6,200 ATMs in 23 states. Now the ATMS will be Windows based rather than OS/2 based. Avivah Litan, an analyst at Gartner Inc., in Stamford, Conn., said the move to Windows-based systems is "not great news for the security of the system. I'm sure there's a lot of holes that will be created because of this.""

    So you are saying that Microsoft has no problems making the embedded version secure and they introduce the holes in XP just for fun? I fail to see how Microsofts track record should make me go "Ohhh, it the *embedded* version. In that case I trust your security completely!"
