Security researchers have discovered a new #malware program that infects automated teller machines (#atms) and allows attackers to extract cash on command.
The program is dubbed #greendispenser and was detected in Mexico. However, it’s only a matter of time until similar #attacks are adopted by cybercriminals in other countries, researchers from security firm Proofpoint said in a blog post.
GreenDispenser is not the first malware program to target ATMs. In October 2013, security researchers from Symantec warned about a backdoor called #ploutus that could infect ATMs when a new boot disk is inserted into their CD-ROM drives.
