Diebold ATMs Hacked: Insiders Suspected...

Diebold Failure: Not Just for E-Voting Anymore
Info-stealing malware discovered on their Windows-based ATM systems
Experts suspect insider attack...

From bit-tech.net:

According to anti-virus provider Sophos – via ITWire – code has been discovered for a piece of malware that targets automated teller machines from US manufacturer Diebold, better known for its range of voting machines.

The code for the software uses undocumented features to create a virtual 'skimmer' which is capable of recording card details and personal identification numbers without the user's knowledge, which suggests that the creator had access to the source code for the ATM. While this doesn't directly point to an inside job, the possibility certainly can't be ruled out.

Sophos believes that the code was intended to be pre-installed by an insider at the factory...

Got that? They're unable to secure their ATMs from insider attack any more than they're able to secure their (our!) e-voting systems...
