So I did not put this in News.
But the news is the Banks never learn. With all the stuff going on and all the loss with poor security, you would think...
Red for yourself...
Title:
Hackers want to crack bank ATM networks - and your nearest cash machine is probably running Windows XP

Here is the new old news from ZDNet

Cyber attacks against ATMs aren't new, but until now they've mostly required the attackers to have physical access to the target machine in order to compromise it.

However, a joint report by Europol and Trend Micro warns how hackers are increasingly targeting bank's corporate networks in an effort to move across to ATMs and infect them with malware.

The fact the machines are basically moneyboxes attached to a Windows PC make them an appealing target for attackers, but the icing on the cake for criminals is how large swathes of ATMs are running on obsolete or unsupported operating systems.
So.. Who pays for this? You and I   >:(
