Doctor Web discovered a trojan in ATMs
From today, I stop using an ATM - Dr. Web found a virus that steals data on customer cards. The fraudster is given a printout with the data of the cards, including pin codes. As written on Lenta.ruThis is not the first malware for ATMs, but for the first time an attacker is given the opportunity to obtain secret information. Until recently, ATMs were not connected to the Internet, but used their own communication channels - now ATMs are bundled in each shopping center, connected by a regular twisted pair cable - so, by and large, you don’t need to come up - all information is merged via the Internet . Of course, the money debited from the account can be returned, but it’s hard to say how much torment you have to go through before the amount returns. And if you are in another city, but there is little or no cash? Of course, it’s impossible to not use cards anymore - they have firmly entered our lives. For myself, I decided to get some cards in order to minimize the risk of losing all the money.
