Thieves have managed to extract money from an ATM with just a Samsung Galaxy S4, a circuit board and the machine’s USB based circuitboard reports Krebs on Security.
This particular hack – a ‘black box’ attack, requires physical access to the top of the cash machine, and involved removing the cash dispensing part from the core computer controlling the device. The thieves then simply need to attach their own core, and the computer can be instructed to dispense as many notes as requested by the cybercriminals. A Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone was used to issue instructions to the machine to complete the cybercrime.
