computer virus ravaging financial structure. It penetrates into the ATM and takes from him all the money. Attackers penetrate the system block and the ATM itself gives them cash.
According to investigators, the virus is called Tyupkin. It allows you to easily access the system ATM. ATM infected with the virus starts to give all the money that it refueled attackers. Attackers have learned to bypass the steel safe, which is located behind the machine. It is much easier to open the front plastic cover that opens endless possibilities for hackers.
The fact is that, like any computer – ATM is vulnerable. Experienced programmers will not be difficult to understand the security system and learn how to get it. To do this, they need only a USB flash drive loaded with her virus program and access to the main processor to the ATM. Because the operating system ATM is not eternal and can not be serviced remotely, behind the front plastic cover ATMs located all controls: connectors for mouse, keyboard, and stick with the banking software. It is this and exploited.
Criminals choose those ATMs which are in sparsely populated areas and have no alarm. Taking advantage of the availability of the protection system of banking software, they easily “run-out” ATMs and hide undetected. From one ATM hackers can carry from 5 to 10 million rubles.
However, customers of banks any hacking attempt does not bring harm. While raids by robbers suffer only banks. However, what prevents burglars install the card reader, which will collect information about customers? Bank staff recommended to use ATMs, which are located in bank branches as long as the perpetrators are not found.
