ATM MACHINES ARE ON HIGH RISK ALERT…

As you must be aware that American ATM makers have alerted against “jackpotting”, a method by which criminals use hacking tools to force ATMs to spit out thousands of dollars in cash. It is a malicious cyberattack that has the U.S. Secret Service issuing warnings and banks on high alert. Jackpotting has been around for years. But its first verified cases in the U.S. were reported in the past week.

Lot of machines in India are still vulnerable to this hack and can face this attack.

Although experts feel that it can be prevented by implementing a protection strategy which will ensure the machines are protected not just from Jack potting but also from other malwares. Apart from ATM machines there are threats of switch infrastructure getting compromised which are similar to jack potting and for that also banks need to be ensure proper management of switch infrastructure and security.
