CHAPTER 20
ATM Malware
The automated teller machine, or ATM, is a major target for criminals, and the reason is simple: it’s loaded with cash! Twenty years ago, the challenge for criminals was to break into a secure ATM vault where the money was kept, but in recent years attackers find a potentially easier path to money by infecting ATMs with malware. In this chapter, we take a look at some of the most dangerous ATM malware in recent years and, more important, techniques that aid in dissecting and identifying indicators of compromise. In addition, we look at ways to mitigate the risks presented by ATM malware.
In this chapter, we discuss the following topics:
• Automated teller machines (ATMs)
• Extensions for Financial Services (XFS)
