Tyupkin: Manipulating ATM Machines with Malware

Image
Earlier this year, at the request of a financial institution, Kaspersky Lab's Global Research and Analysis Team performed a forensics investigation into a cyber-criminal attack targeting multiple ATMs in Eastern Europe.

At the time of the investigation, the malware was active on more than 50 ATMs at banking institutions in Eastern Europe.  Based on submissions to VirusTotal, we believe that the malware has spread to several other countries, including the U.S., India and China.

"Visions without execution are hallucinations..." One of the great visionaries of the digital age was William von Meister, a flamboyant entrepreneur who launched a dozen companies and watched all but one flame out. The one that succeeded became AOL.

Watu hao waliokuwa na kibali cha kuwindia walikutwa na mkasa huo juzi jioni katika eneo la wazi la Utete, Rufiji baada ya askari wa Selous kufyatua risasi wakidhani ni majangili waliotoka katika pori hilo. Akizungumza na gazeti hili jana, mwindaji Mashaka Ndonde alisema alikuwa amekwenda na rafiki zake kuwinda nyumbu katika eneo hilo, lakini ghafla wakati wanaondoka na mnyama huyo saa 12:30 jioni walisikia sauti ikiwaamuru kusimama. “Wakati bado tunashangaa tukasikia risasi imelia iliwapiga watu wawili, mmoja ni rafiki yangu alikuwa amekuja kunisindikiza anaitwa Ephraim Mkenda na mwingine ni mwongozaji kutoka Kijiji cha Utete, Malick Sadick,” alisema Ndonde. Alisema kuwa askari hao waliokuwa na sare za kazi na bunduki, waliwashusha kwenye gari na kuwalazimisha wawafuate kinyumenyume. “Tukawaambia sisi ni wawindaji halali, wakatu...
