Wells Fargo Web-Enables ATMs
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.""
whats it going to do? play beethovens 9th in 5.1 surround while demoing unreal tourney 2006 as you wait for your card to clear? if they're going to update cash machines id rather they come up with better designs to stop people fitting false fronts, increased privacy from shoulder surfing, gave more detailed receipts and statement printouts, let me cancel cheques and direct debits, and sped the whole thing up so people could use them faster, oh or maybe they could use the hardware cost saving to double the number of machines?

Yes but why did you have to go with Diebold again? They are notorious for buggy and insecure systems, just look how they botched up voting on a PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
