"Windows-based cash machines 'easily hacked'" 

This article basically makes two charges: ATMs aren't encrypting enough
data and the boxes they are stored in can be broken into. The former is
obviously an application error and the latter is obiously a hardware
issue. What was the point of putting "Windows" in the title? Yes, they
do make a quick vague accusation about Windows ATMs being less reliable
than OS/2 ATMs. Right.
