Automated Teller Machines (ATM) are no longer just affected by the physical attempt of emptying the money safe. Now logical attacks on ATMs are slowly being recognized as an emerging threat by the security industry and law enforcement agencies. ATM malware had been detected by various researchers for a few years now and we have already seen incidents of their successful use. For this type of crime, malware, specifically targeting ATMs, is employed. The shift to the digital means of attack reveals a realization among criminal groups–that the use of malware is an easier and safer way to steal money and card information from ATMs. This tendency will only grow in the future and should make us mindful of the different pathways criminal groups have gained access to and have created for themselves.
