Peaches Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hackers Rig ATMs In Las Vegas Hotel, Secret Service Investigating While white-hat hackers were trying to stay one step ahead of the bad guys at Black Hat USA and Defcon, a real computer crime was committed nearby Aug 03, 2009 | 03:49 PMBy Kelly Jackson HigginsDarkReading While the good hackers were exposing security holes at Black Hat USA and Defcon in Las Vegas, the bad guys were committing the real deal at a nearby Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. And now the U.S. Secret Service is investigating reports of a major ATM hack that stole money from users' bank accounts when they tried to withdraw cash from multiple machines. The ATM scam first came to light when security researcher Chris Paget lost $200 to an ATM machine over the weekend after attending a show at the hotel. Paget, who kept a running log of the events on his Twitter feed, alerted authorities after the machine took his credentials and debited his account, but didn't spit out any cash. He said in his Twitter feed that he met other visitors who had lost money as well -- one man to the tune of $1,000. details at darkreading - http://www.darkreading.com/security/attack...ttacks/breaches Quote Link to post Share on other sites
