Card-Sniffing Malware On Diebold ATMs

Posted by kdawson on from the atm-russia-you-do-the-math dept.

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."

    Somewhat OT, but my wife was one of the early recipients of a credit card which expired after 1999. She used to crash gas pumps whenever she tried to pay at the pump.
