Another ATM Maker Pwned by Googling

bagsc writes "Kevin Poulsen of Wired.com strikes fear into another ATM manufacturer. This time, Triton ATMs had their super-secret master codes revealed by simple Google searches. Tranax was the most recent company with this problem, but probably not the last."

    A default password that is MEANT to be CHANGED ASAP is not supersecret. It's in the fucking
    manual and even if the manual is not on the web then you can probably order one from the
    manufacturer and they wont make sure you even purchased the ATM to go with it.

    The real news is that the people who set ATMs up and operate them are as dumb as dog shit.

    UUuuuuh secret password! Uuuuuuh!

    Listen up kids, "owned", "pwned", "h4x0red", "l33t", was interesting for about 5 minutes 5 years ago, now it's over. Stop using them, it's pathetically annoying. Try using some proper English for once. For the love of shit, even Penny-Arcade makes fun of this crap, and it's a video game based web comic.
