The Latest in IT Security

For the first time, a country in Western Europe has reported that #malware attacks were used by hackers to steal €1.23 million (US$1.32 million) from ATMs. One major problem is the continued use of #windows XP in ATMs, making them more vulnerable to attacks, a report on ATM fraud said.

The report does not specify which country reported the malware attacks, said Lachlan Gunn, executive director the European ATM #security Team (EAST), an organization that aims to provide an oversight of trends in ATM fraud.
