Banks have been warned of an imminent threat that their cash machines could be mass-hacked by cyber criminals.

In a confidential alert on Friday, America's Federal Bureau of Investigation told international banks that criminals are plotting a concerted global malware attack on cash machines in the next few days. 

The FBI issued a warning about a highly choreographed fraud scheme known as an ATM "jackpotting", in which crooks hack a bank or payment card processor and use cloned cards at cash machines around the world to take out millions in just a few minutes. 

UK-based banks with large international operations, such as HSBC and Barclays, are among those thought to have been made aware of the...

". . . highly choreographed fraud scheme . . ."

Picture Ethiopian princes sweet talking the AI chip in an ATM out of cash.

Oh, shiny side out ... no wonder

[Kommodor]

Probably still running Windoze XP...

[Vigilanteman]

Good luck with that when the minimum amount most of these ATMs will dispense is $20.

[laplata]

Thank you. That makes sense.

[Patriot777]

Yep, Windows XP.

False flag, maybe? What a way to rehabilitate the FBI - who will be instant heroes when they ‘save the day’.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Well the calls to defund the FBI were starting to grow rather loud now, weren’t they?

[Oh, shiny side out ... no wonder]

It’s the only way to effectively block the rays!!!

[Jaded]

That’s what I want to know.

I also asked why. Typical that USA MSM omits vital news, and UK serves the purpose.
BTW, internets caution Aug 15 financial disruption, ie: Anniversary of Nixon taking USA off gold standard when gold was pegged at $35 / ounce. (Today it’s $1200 / Oz ;n)

You might as well ask the locations of your nearest federal penitentiaries and take along your favorite Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash playlist. Mama Tried.

Crime does not pay except for Dems.

Well, that’s at least worthy of a ping for the nut-job conspiracy ..... ping list. IMHO

When we get near elections that Democrats see as “critical” - I say, expect anything.

I would have schools on high alert for September and October.

Not that the Democrats would try to pull an October Surprise, mind you.....

(hey, I’ve got the extra tinfoil so gotta use it....)

Perhaps if every person was implanted with a microchip and maybe a tattoo (Greek “charagma”) on their right hand (or forehead) then ATM’s would no longer be necessary.

First thought that occurred to me too... a flashpoint like this will hasten along the 'need to take the mark'....

Mostly the bank needs to review the controls in place and establish a process that more quickly detects changes to account / system authorizations.

MUCH more simple: Establish a semaphore system that only allows one login per card. You insert a card, and the system IMMEDIATELY goes to a lock file (and the time of PIN entry would be enough) and allows only that insertion to proceed. Even if other cloned cards pass PIN, the lock file would prevent any more transactions.

I prefer the Reynolds No-Stick variety. No-Stick side out, of course. Those rays just slide off. Very effective.

[setha]

I wonder if that’s a step up, or a step down from the predecessor, OS/2.

(I remember when they were still green-screen terminals and had damage-resistant vandal doors, if barely.)

[SaveFerris]

It will come 1/2 way through the Tribulation (what we use as shorthand for the 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy).

I expect ever-tightening security and methods up to that point, making implementation easier.

India is already scanning everyone of their citizens’s iris (both in one shot) and taking their fingerprints in regard to welfare fraud.

Immediately after the Abomination that Causes Desolation, THEN shall be Great Tribulation. I believe this is when the False Prophet implements the system and the image to the first beast mentioned in Revelation 13.

God bless and keep looking up (Luke 21:34-36).

Sounds like a great method. I have an umbrella lined with tinfoil for when the satellites pass directly overhead.

For best performance, line both sides of the umbrella. Makes it hard to fold, though.
