I stopped by a branch of my bank (Compass Bank) in Denver today to withdraw some cash from the ATM. An unmarked mini-van blocked access, and some character in "business casual" garb had the front of the ATM pillar tipped up. I took a glance inside to see what the innards of an ATM look like. It had what looked like a standard PC case inside.
I asked the guy repairing it what operating system it ran. He said, "Windows. Windows XP based, actually." Is my bank asking for a repeat of Ross Anderson'a "Phantom Withdrawals"? http://www.phantomwithdrawals.com/ Along those lines, how often do bank IT departments go as far south as Ross Anderson has documented? --NSA--CIA--FBI--NRO--TSA--JENKEM--DHS--BUTTHASH--TIARA--GHCQ--ECHELON-- As for you government types intercepting this, thanks for keeping us safe from our freedoms. Warrantless wiretapping is un-American and unpatriotic. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
