Criminals Sneak Card-sniffing Software on Diebold ATMs

Diebold has released a security fix for its Opteva automated teller 
machines after cyber criminals apparently broke into the systems at one 
or more businesses in Russia and installed malicious software.

Diebold learned of the incident in January and sent out a global 
security update to its ATM customers using the Windows operating system. 
It is not releasing full details of what happened, including which 
businesses were affected, but said criminals had gained physical access 
to the machines to install their malicious program.

"Criminals gained physical access to the inside of the affected ATMs," 
Diebold said in its security update. "This criminal activity resulted in 
the operation of unauthorized software and devices on the ATMs, which 
was used to intercept sensitive information."
