Title: ATM Machines
Post by: Scot Munroe on Monday, October 9, 2006, 11:20:40
Went to my local shop in Liden which is Tesco, to take out some money to give to my parents for stuff and the ATM Crashed and gobbled up my Debit card. The Atm is now working and other people are using it. I called liverpool on a hotline to cancel my card and to get a new one.

Great start for the week.

I was in town saturday night, some bloke lost his card in the cash machine. He kept wandering up to people saying 'have you got any tweezers?'

One girl turned round and said 'what, so I can look at your cock?'  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Talking of ATM's there was a nice reprogram scam in the US the other week.

Quote

The hack was far from sophisticated. Security researchers have discovered that ATM manuals for the Tranax Mini-Bank 1500 Series, the machine involved in the Virginia scam, can be easily located online using nothing more fancy than a Google search query, eWeek reports. These manuals explain how to switch ATMs into diagnostic mode, where its possible to reprogram ATMs in the way carried out in the Florida gas-station hack, for example.

Would-be fraudsters would still need a PIN code in order to be able to access functions normally only available to installation engineers but the manual lists typical factory-set default passwords. So unless machines have been set up properly, they are wide open to abuse. It seems the hack is limited to Tranax's line of mini-bank terminals, though that's unclear. Tranax has delivered 70,000 ATMs, self-service terminals and kiosks across the US. Many of these installations involve the Mini-Bank 1500 machine that was the target of the Virginia hack, so the potential for abuse is clearly

I used to know how to scam NCR cash machines, although I never did it because I'm not a thief, and more importantly I couldn't see how it could be done more than once without getting caught :D

SwindonUltra, it could be worse mate, the same thing happened to me in the middle of Kings Cross, Sydney.

The 'M' in ATM stands for machine. You don't need to write it again.
