A security researcher due to "jackpot" an ATM live on stage at the upcoming
Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas has had his talk pulled by his
employer.

Security and network device vendor Juniper Networks binned Barnaby Jack's
presentation -- an anticipated highlight of the security conference --
following pressure from the affected ATM vendor.

"The affected ATM vendor has expressed to us concern about publicly
disclosing the research findings before its constituents were fully
protected," a statement issued by Juniper reads. "Considering the scope and
possible exposure of this
issue on other vendors, Juniper decided to postpone Jacks presentation
until all affected vendors have sufficiently addressed the issues found in
his research."

Risky.Biz understands the ATM vendor had been given notification of the
upcoming presentation, and Juniper Networks was initially happy for Mr.
Jack to present his research findings publicly.
