This is an interesting article on hackers combining their physical penetration skills with technical skills. \u00a0Hackers were able to drill a whole the size of a golf ball next to the PIN\u00a0pad and insert a wire to take command and control of the ATM and dispense cash. \u00a0Security researchers at Kaspersky demonstrated that the technical hack could easily be done with a simple Arduino controller, a breadboard, and a 9 volt battery.<\/p>\n
These stories remind me of Terminator 2 when young John Connor was hacking the ATM machine. \u00a0The ironic thing is that the ATMs that were compromised have been used since the 90s when that movie came out!<\/p>\n
The challenge that banks will face in fixing this vulnerability is that the software cannot be done remotely and they are also recommending adding additional hardware enhancements and physical security controls (e.g. surveillance cameras, physical access controls). \u00a0This all requires work to be done on premises and these devices are apparently widely in use.<\/p>\n
