Still warm with memories of how the crime at an ATM skimming techniques to dredge bloom customers’ money lately. Due to these crimes banks suffered losses because customers have to replace the missing funds.

Skimming through the ATM crime may advantage of a customer because it was done by way of stealing an ATM card PIN as the entrance of the transaction. In fact, there is piracy techniques that are not less dangerous ATM by using a software hacking techniques.

A hacker from IOActive, a leading digital security company based in the U.S. and UK, will reveal two new techniques hijack an ATM in the Black Hat USA conference which is planned to be held in late July 2010 Sin City later. He will present his paper “Jackpotting Automated Teller Machines.”

“I’m always glad to see the scene in Terminator 2 when John Connor was walking toward the ATM and then brought him to the Atari device card reader and take a sheet of money that comes out the ATM machine,” said Jack in the Black Hat website. “I think I can do the same thing.”

Jack promised to take the two most recent models of ATM machines among the types of ATM machines used by some banks at this time to demonstrate it. According to this technique can release large amounts of money from an ATM, either carried out directly or remotely.

Initially, the discovery techniques will be demonstrated in the same conference in Las Vegas last year. However, the plan failed to do in the last minute for reasons which he called non-technical issues beyond his control at that time.

IOActive states that this technique has the potential to drain the bad guys used the ATM. It also has warned ATM manufacturers to anticipate weaknesses. Besides expressing ATM plowing techniques, he also will present ways to protect the ATM machines of potential crimes. (Kompas)
