ATM: every day trouble

ATM is a perfect target for criminals. Successful attack gives them real cash, instead of bytes and bits on accounts in Panama. When people spend thousands of dollars (not Zimbabwe dollars, US ones) in shopping malls, attacker get millions from ATMs at the same places. When bankers read financial ratings, hackers clean out their banks. In our presentation, we will cover topics on how to create botnet from ATM network, that will gather all card data, network attacks specific to ATMs connection to processing centers, direct control of the ATM software. PS: This overview of the security issues in cash machines is not intended as a hacking guide.
