http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2009/02/atm.html At the time, the company said it identified fraudulent activity on only 100 cards, making it sound like small beans. But it turns out the hacker managed to lift the withdrawal limits on those 100 cards, before dispatching an global army of cashers to drain them with repeated rapid-fire withdrawals. More than 130 ATMs in 49 cities from Moscow to Atlanta were hit simultaneously just after midnight Eastern Time on November 8. ======================================================================== Let's see, that's an average of $70k / ATM. How much cash does an ATM carry anyway? And it could only spit out a few hundred at a time. And when does the movie for this stunt come out? Ocean's 130 FTW! Marv
