I find it entirely possible that their datacenter where the transactions are processed was the real scene of the outage, and not the individual ATMs or their routes.
Who cares about the exact reason, the problem is that critical banking infrastructure was damaged because of an internet slowdown. Why is it better that a banking "datacenter's" integrity was compromised than network route congestion. If I had to pick between two banks each exhibiting these problems I'll take one that is only affected due to network congestion in ATM traffic than one that has it's entire datacenter f*cked by a worm... -- Douglas F.
