Not all ATM attacks needan elaborate skimmer . There ’s a novel sort of crime doing the rounds , which involves hijacking the ethernet cable television of an ATM to gather your card information .
Krebs on Security reportsthat NCR — the technology company that makes many of the wage - point and ATMs you use every day — has put out a monition about the new sort of attack . It uses a machine that ’s stop up into the machine ’s connection cable television to glean your card point , while a PIN can be captured using a freestanding camera or keypad overlay . Such ironware has already been used to successfully lash out NCR and Diebold automatic teller , according to Krebs .
As you’re able to see from the image , the approach ’s been level at a standalone ATM , where access to the web cables is fairly straightforward . John Cash machines work up into the wall would , obviously , test far hard to attack in this way of life .
The news add together yet another matter to look out for at ATMs . If you see anything shady on a internet connection — let alone the card time slot or keypad — don’t bother using the cash point .
