Attackers Steal $12.7M In Massive ATM Heist (mainichi.jp)

Within two hours $12.7 million in cash was stolen from 1,400 ATMs located at convenience stores all across Japan, investigators announced Sunday. An anonymous reader quotes a Japanese newspaper: Police suspect that the cash was withdrawn at ATMs using counterfeit credit cards containing account information leaked from a South African bank. Japanese police will work with South African authorities through the International Criminal Police Organization to look into the major theft, including how credit card information was leaked, the sources said.
Over the two hours attackers withdrew the equivalent of $907 in 14,000 different transactions.

14,000 x $907 = $12.7m So where do you join this gang of 1400 fantastically well coordinated thieves?

$907 is exactly 100,000 Yen, which is the transaction limit.
