ATM Security Alert
Stay informed on emerging ATM and ITM attack methods and the latest security recommendations to keep your financial institution protected.
ATM Jackpotting
While ATM “jackpotting” is a hot topic, it doesn’t refer to a single method of attack. Instead, jackpotting encompasses multiple cash-out techniques, each requiring distinct prevention strategies. For example:
attack:
Offline Malware Attacks have criminals extracting the hard drive from an ATM and locally loading malware onto the device. The compromised hard drive is plugged back into the ATM and used to quickly cash-out the machine.
solution:
Hard disk encryption, a protection available through DBE’s Encompass Secure service, can thwart offline malware-based cash-out attacks but won’t stop man-in-the-middle attacks.
attack:
Man-in-the middle (MITM) ATM attacks are also known as a Host Spoofing Attack. A device is placed in the ATM that impersonates the host and authorizes transactions to cash-out the ATM. When an institution has fallen victim to a MITM attack, you may hear it also referred to as jackpotting.
solution:
TLS 1.2 encryption established between the ATM and your host network prevents man-in-the-middle attacks but doesn’t protect against offline malware-based cash-outs attacks.
ATM Protection Recommendations:
No single countermeasure can prevent all types of attacks. As bad actors continue to innovate their attack methods, protections must also adapt and evolve making a layered ATM security approach essential.
