According to NCR reports, Black Box attacks were also recorded during this same period. With the help of a medical endoscope, the attackers succeeded in manipulating the dispenser sensors. To restore the connection with the cash dispenser in the ATM, the attackers emulated physical authentication, which is needed to confirm that authorised access to the ATM’s internal safe has been obtained. The attackers specially prepared a malware-laden hard drive in advance and switched it with the ATM’s original hard drive – according to a new report from Positive Technologies. These warnings were notable because of the nature of the threat: criminals were said to be planning to plant malware on ATMs or connect special devices to control cash dispensing.Ī few months earlier, in October 2017, a series of such attacks had occurred in Mexico. In January 2018, the US Secret Service, as well as major ATM vendors Diebold Nixdorf and NCR, issued urgent warnings about the threat of ATM hacking and attacks.
