  1. Re:What?!!? on Another ATM Maker Pwned by Googling · · Score: 1

    What i can suggest here is to place the ATM machie inside the respective bank for more security purposes where even it is a bank ERROR, we can avoid those take the advantage to hack the ATM machine to get money. Why don't we implement a thumb screen device that would scan the ATM holders thumb to get his or her details followed by any kind of transaction processes.In this case we can try or avoid the usage of the actual ATM card. By implementing the thumb screen device,the bank needs to generate a well secured new program to run the process. Thus, the chances to get 'attack' from the outsiders could be reduced.By the time the public able to find a crack in the new program, the bank could always update the security features in the program from time to time.

    default password can be avoided by not asking any password from the users.there should be no password insertion required but instead a hyter tech solution must be implemented. a user's irish have to be scanned before any transaction being done in any ATM.a user will be required to undergo a irish scanning process when they want to open a new account in any banks.the data need to be stored in the user's respective database.the database mmust be up to date and unauthorize people cannot access those databases.later,before money transaction is done,the user's scanned irish would be compared with the data stored in his or her database. thus,any security threads like googling and hacking can be controlled or avoided.only the respective user can do the transaction process.

  10. Skimming on Googling for ATM Master Passwords · · Score: 1

    This kind of crime is increasing all over the world.Many out there are still using magnetic stripe at the ATM to get consumer data and the pin. Why is skimming so prevalent? Because it's easy,we just need to leave a skimming device on an ATM for only 30 to 45 minutes. By the time an FI detects anything, the skimming device and the criminals are long gone. Jitter is a security feature in this case, but it helps only for simple skimmers.Jitter is very effective, but jitter is not all NCR recommends.The Fraudulent Device Inhibitor which automatically sends an alert to the FI when one of its ATMs has been tampered with. The inhibitor also prevents cards-trapping. NCR's Intelligent Fraud Detection plays a similar role in that it detects changes to the ATM's fascia and actually prevents a skimming attack. Anyhow the best way is to make the ATM the least attractive target.

  11. ATM Machines??????? on Googling for ATM Master Passwords · · Score: 1

    default DOLLAR writes to mention an eWeek article following up on the ATM reprogramming scam pulled in Virginia Beach last week. A security researcher in New York has used a YouTube video, a few Google searches, and other legal methods to discover the master passwords to thousands of ATMs across the country. From the article: "Dave Goldsmith, founder and president of penetration testing outfit Matasano Security, in New York, did not say how he obtained the operator manual--which contains master passwords and other sensitive security information about the cash-dispensing machines--but an eWEEK investigation shows that a simple Google query will return a 102-page PDF file that provides a road map to the hack." How fool he would be? Why don't he just use his brain to crack into some world range business companies rather than into ATM machines in certain places.

Opportunities - (What is the expected profit of this customer? What product is this customer most likely to buy next?) The World Wide Web is a huge, distributed data warehouse - Data Mining is a critical enabling technology for information retrieval and knowledge discovery on this emerging data web. So what we can do? Disruption of Existing Procedures The introduction of any new system causes disruption to staff and will be treated with scepticism initially. Where the introduction of a document management system has been preceded by a proper re-examination of manual procedures, so that an inefficient manual system is not perpetuated electronically, the job functions of staff may change dramatically. This needs careful management, with induction training and technical support for a long period. Again the initial costs of the system will be inflated because of this, compared with the longer term running costs when the system has been running for some time.

    The findings, which are described in a comprehensive security alert from Visa, came from a detailed review of the card security environment, including common fraud techniques, potential areas of weakness by card-accepting merchants, and emerging threats. Factors that lead to data compromise: 1. Storage of Magnetic Stripe Data which occur due to improper storage of data 2. Missing or Outdated Security Patches occurs when up-to-date security patches not installed properly,thus leaving their systems vulnerable to intrusion. 3.

    In a key step to help businesses better understand and protect themselves against the risks of fraud, Visa USA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce today announced the five leading causes of data breaches and offered immediate, specific prevention strategies for each. "The single, most effective weapon in the battle against today's data theft is education," said Sean Heather, executive director, U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The findings, which are described in a comprehensive security alert from Visa, came from a detailed review of the card security environment, including common fraud techniques, potential areas of weakness by card-accepting merchants, and emerging threats. SQL Injection - Criminals use this technique to exploit Web-based applications for coding vulnerabilities and to attack a merchant's Internet applications (e.g. shopping carts).

  19. Re:Ballmer responce: on Top Five Causes of Data Compromise · · Score: 1

    As outlined today, the five leading causes of card-related data breaches are: 1. Storage of Magnetic Stripe Data - The most common cause of data breaches occurs when a merchant or service provider stores sensitive information encoded on the card's magnetic stripe in violation of the PCI Data Security Standard. This can occur because a number of point-of-sale systems improperly store this data, and the merchant may not be aware of it. 2. Missing or Outdated Security Patches - In this scenario, hackers are able penetrate a merchant or service provider's systems because they have not installed up-to-date security patches, leaving their systems vulnerable to intrusion. 3. Use of Vendor Supplied Default Settings and Passwords - In many cases, merchants receive POS hardware or software from outside vendors who install them using default settings and passwords that are often widely known to hackers and easy to guess. 4. SQL Injection - Criminals use this technique to exploit Web-based applications for coding vulnerabilities and to attack a merchant's Internet applications (e.g. shopping carts). 5. Unnecessary and Vulnerable Services on Servers - Servers are often shipped by vendors with unnecessary services and applications that are enabled, although the user may not be aware of it. Because the services may not be required, security patches and upgrades may be ignored and the merchant system exposed to attack.

  21. Re:Avoid Magnetic-Stripe Data Storage Violations on Top Five Causes of Data Compromise · · Score: 1

    1. Do not store magnetic-stripe data after any transaction authorization. This is because the full contents of track data,which is read from the magnetic stripe, must not be retained on any other system after a transaction is authorized. 2.Evaluate your current or pending payment applications. Do a thorough review of all payment applications to ensure non-storage of magnetic-stripe data.Make your evaluations frequently to be in a safe mode. 3.Immediately report an account compromise. If you suspect an account compromise had happened, alert all necessary parties especially confirmed security breach immediately. Provide all compromised Visa account numbers to your acquirer bank within 24 hours.I should remind all of you that the sooner you report your account compromise, the sooner you avoid any counterfeit fraud. 4.Make sure you know your liability for data security problems. Many merchant or acquirer contracts explicitly hold merchants liable for losses resulting from compromised card data if the merchant or service provider lacked adequate data security. So what can i say is an ounce of prevention is far much better what we will wind up paying in total liability for account compromises.
