yber criminals have hacked cash machines in 28 countries to loot over £10 million from an Indian bank.
Hackers infected the bank's credit card payment system with malware, which allowed them to approve transactions and access client accounts. Fake credit cards were then used to force ATMs around the world to dispense cash worth about $13 million until they were empty.
The attack on Cosmos Bank, based in the Indian city of Pune, was predicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) last week. The FBI issued a warning to global banks that there would be a global cyber attack of ATMs within days.
UK-based banks with large international operations, such as HSBC and Barclays, are among those made aware of the threat.
The FBI said that it had intelligence that criminals were going to hack into a banking system using a highly choreographed fraud scheme known as ATM "jackpotting", in which crooks hack a bank or payment card processor and use cloned cards at cash machines around the world to take out millions in just a few minutes.

So, the warnings yesterday were true.
Which I assume means that ultimately they hacked thousands of individual accounts in order to clone them.

Anyone look at stroczk’s gofundme account today? We already know he’s a POS.
Yep.
Apparently so.
They just didn’t know who the target was.................
You would think it would be possible for ATM manufacturers to program an unhackable chip, they would set off an alert when more than a certain amount of money was being dispensed by an ATM. Such a chip could be completely separate from the normal software.
I wouldn’t be surprised if manufacturers offered such a feature in the near future.

kudos to the agents that nailed this one. good work.
a warning without specifics is no warning...
something bad is going to happen today, to someone.
Well, in the banking world, basically what these folks did was steel the cash box in the petty cash drawer.
Well, kinda. Still a bunch of money gone.
10 mil Turkish Lira. What is that in American money. $20 dollars?
Ruh-Roh !
They print up a bunch of fake cards then hack the computer the ATMs ask permission from to bypass security of the fake cards and the ATMs spit out cash like a malfunctioning slot machine in Vegas. ATMs just doing what they were designed to do.
I have never used an ATM machine and have no plans to do so in the future. Can I tell the bank not to issue ATM cash?
