Card-Sniffing Malware On Diebold ATMs

angry tapir writes "Diebold has released a security fix for its Opteva automated teller machines after cyber-criminals apparently broke into the systems at one or more businesses in Russia and installed malicious software. Diebold learned of the incident in January and sent out a global security update to its ATM customers using the Windows operating system. It is not releasing full details of what happened, including which businesses were affected, but said criminals had gained physical access to the machines to install their malicious program. Arrests have reportedly been made."

    No..no reversal, that's actually true, here in the west..well it was, a year or two ago...banks held you up, and forced you to get a loan that you could never afford...unfortunatley somewhere along the line of repaying the loan and filing for bankruptcy the whole system went a bit tits-up.
