Cash machines robbed with infected USB sticks

“The thefts came to light in July after the lender involved noticed several its ATMs were being emptied despite their use of safes to protect the cash inside.  After surveillance was increased, the bank discovered the criminals were vandalising the machines to use the infected USB sticks.  Once the malware had been transferred they patched the holes up. This allowed the same machines to be targeted several times without the hack being discovered.  Analysis of software installed onto four of the affected machines demonstrated that it displayed the amount of money available in each denomination of note and presented a series of menu options on the ATM’s screen to release each kind.”
