Card-Sniffing Malware On Diebold ATMs

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday March 17, 2009 @03:41PM 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."

Should of not droped OS/2 For windows on the ATMs by Joe+The+Dragon · 2009-03-17 16:26 · Score: 1, Redundant

Should of not droped OS/2 For windows on the ATMs. Also was the administrative passwords set to the default like the other ATM's that got hacked?
Is the locked-down version of Windows that Diebold provides to locked down for some banks use? Locked in to Diebold for getting the windows updates? Vs being able to do it on your own / use your own WSUS system?
Are diebold voting machines just as easy or easier to hack?
