De Machine en Vensters XP van ATM

de fout <a href= van ATMvensters xp geld” />

Het beeld herinnert hierboven me aan de zelfde fout van ATM die ik 2 jaar heb ontmoet geleden, is het enige verschil het werkende systeem dat verouderde O/S2 van IBM gebeurt te zijn. Ik dacht voor veiligheidsdoeleinden, verkiezen de banken UNIX of systeem Linux.

Als de banken, ATMs, machines, auto's, telefoons meestal door Vensters van Microsoft worden aangedreven, dan is het bijna onmogelijk om het monopolie van werkend systeem door Microsoft te breken.

De software wordt in werking gesteld op privé netwerken, met hoge veiligheidsfirewalls. Het is niet als zij werd gelopen op Internet.

Is niet werkelijk van belang: Één of andere stomme Exec die zijn laptop met hem tijdens het weekend neemt, wordt laptop besmet door een virus en hij stopt in collectieve LAN op maandag…
(en ja, is dit gebeurd)

ATM UI zou zo eenvoudig moeten zijn dat het op een spaander kan passen. ATMs die ik heb gehad zelfde UI voor over een decennium heb gebruikt. Hebben wij werkelijk het kleurenscherm nodig om ons saldo $20 terug te trekken te bekijken of?

Dat is eng!

Hebt u werkelijk een werkend systeem nodig zoals Vensters XP om ATM in werking te stellen? Ik denk niet zo.

FYI,

The latest Internet worm struck Washington state’s leading businesses, disrupting thousands of Washington Mutual Inc. automated teller machines, infecting The Boeing Co. and even invading Microsoft Corp.’s own operations.

Many ATMs are connected through the Internet, and even the ones on private networks are susceptible.

That may be true in some cases, but many worms have found their way onto ATMs in the past.

Not only that, but I work at home depot, and all of the cash registers and self checkouts are powered by XP. I never knew a cash register could seize up before…..

This isn’t really anything new. For a very long time some ATMs were powered by an embedded version of Windows NT and even Window CE. Truth of the matter is that Windows run on a private network can be very secure. Also, NEXT and Windows are also used in point of sale systems all over the world.

It’s time we get past the petty bickering of operating systems and start making better computing choices and that does not mean switching for the sake of switching.

I do remember a story about a worm getting into an ATM, umm i think it was mydoom or one of them

It might be worth while to know which bank in question has Windows XP ATMs made by NCR…

A couple years ago I remember seeing another website about a different ATM running XP. That other ATM apparently had a mechanism to automatically reboot itself whenever something went wrong, and the picture showed the ATM screen with the Windows XP bootup screen on it. What’s worse…if I remember correctly, it was XP HOME, and it didn’t have SP2 (Yes, this picture was taken months after SP2 was released). Good grief!

I think there are more, for example Siemens. First saw the ATM using XP was in early 2005, installed by one of the banks here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Then saw it again on ATM manufactured by IBM, NCR. Heck..even saw a blue screen ATM once. :)

See ATM’s work pretty damn well and have been for years, minus advanced hacks like adding hardware adapters and other un-social theivery methods.. However now this will be extremly simple to jackpot.. The end of the world is near, but more like a NWO starte to phase out using cash alltogether.. Think about it…

I have seen this too in NEW ZEALAND, on the new KIWI Bank ATM’s machine. was funny to see, would be nice to see wht we could do with them.

private networks and high security firewalls with XP? ahahah yeah right.. What do you think Linux hackers cream over…hehe Let the Kaos begin

Yeah, seriously. And it’s not like you see these errors every day.

Private networks or not. It is stupid running an out of the box version of XP on ATM’s. As you can see in the pictures, they don’t even have proper fault tolerance and fail secure mechanisms. Either the system wasn’t designed (at all) or someone got bribed a lot.

Bridget has a point. With having to work in the banking industry developing software for a year. I had the (dis)pleasure of working on a similar device. I would not agree with using xp on such a machine but we had no say so in it. I however will assure you this though. ATMs with such as this are well protected from outside networks.

I work for a financial institution and laugh at the Windows XP ATMs also.

Remember when Bank Of America’s ATMs were all brought down by a worm a few years ago? They were all running Windows.

The problem is that the ATM companies show off the pretty Windows interface and the marketing guys practically wet themselves with the advertising potential of this interface. So security goes out the window and the marketing guys get what they want.

Very typical.

Windows comes with a lot of well-understood infrastructure for updating software, performing backups, determining status, etc. It runs on a wide variety of commodity hardware. The ATM software itself is the smallest part of managing the ATM network; having cheap, replacable hardware and familiar tools for status, backup, & update can seriously lower the cost of operaion.

A great number of developers use Windows to write and test their software, lowering the cost of acquiring and keeping said talent. The two most widely-used network development environments (.NET, J2EE) are easiest to develop on in Windows (predictable behavior, widely-available free or very cheap tools, latest releases always available, etc.). (Odd in Java’s case, but there it is.) This lowers the cost of development.

Many manufacturers know this, and so offer Windows as the OS for their ATMS, and many customers choose to use Windows for these reasons.

currently yes alot of of ATMS run off Windows XP it is a locked down version of XP(which is created by the bank)usually it sits within its own forest and SSL or IPSec encryption so that even if the ATM is on the corporate network all its traffic is encrypted.Firewalls and IPS/IDS solutions are also used to mitigate the risk of virus outbreaks as well as antivirus in the case of some banks depoly this to the ATMS. The main reason for going to XP is that it can be managed properly as well as developemnet for new features for the ATM are Quick to develope and the skills are easy to get hold os OS2 skills are not

With regards to Virus

If atms run xp, this gives me Ideas, because having an Xp computers requires 96mb ram, 2 mb Video, and a hard drive, or maybe they are edited versions of xp that run on lowerend hardware… but the cpu X86 is a key factor for hacking, my grandpa used to steal money fro ATMs usning a graphing calculator…

Dude, you have got to be kidding! ATMs sohuld have their own super-sucure OS. Not windwos XP?!?! Windows xp needs like 4+Gigs of HD space, if all you need is a simple OS that is like 50MB or even less! Windows Xp has many ways to do things that alot of people dont know about useing keybord shortcuts, example: Control + Shift + Esc opens task manager and Windows button + R opens the run box where you can go to command prompt and everything! So why dont banks just make a simple OS that can be updated easy and (becouse it is made by banks) only banks know how to accsess/hack it. If it is running on WinXP, a simple .exe could be ran and a code would be implanted that when pressed, would deposit all of the machene’s cash! Damn

They should use Linux os Mac OS 9/X on ATMs. Hell at school I boot linux on a school computer and I can access anything on the whole network.

Most ATMs ran OS\2 and some bastard version of UNIX. They should of left it that way because Not many people know how to exploit OS\2 and it’s very hard to get into a unix system. At my old job we had a contract to do a hardware install at a compass bank. Another company came in and did the software. This guy I knew that was testing the ATM that was running Windows Embedded found so many exploits it wasn’t funny. The ATM had a shelf with a lock that had a keyboard and a touch pad on the outside. The lock was a plain old lock. You needed a master key card to make it close the ATM customer screen and went to the windows desktop. From there you can run the test program and make it spit out money. The master key card can be easily made and the code is easy to exploit. If you know how to hack a satellite you can hack this ATM. It scares me that people know how to do this stuff. Really in all it depends on the hardware setup and the ATM customer software. Also theres cameras on ATMs so it’s kinda hard to break into one.

Think about it, most companies buy so many copies/licenses of windows and at some point they use up all of the licenses they bought and end up putting a few “illegal” installs. Also everyone wants to use a OS that can be exploited so easily that it doesn’t take time for companies to use the same OS. A friend of mine has a new cell that uses Windows Mobile and he already got a Trojan on it from syncing it with another friend’s PC. Why can’t people suck it up and use a Unix based OS. So far Unix it self has no virues, spyware, malware and if setup correctly it can’t get broken into unless the “hacker” gets a hold of the root password.

Most of you are extremely foolish. Windows XP, without any patches, is just as secure as Linux, when behind say a Linux router. The problem is when many ports are open or when you are using Internet Explorer that you need to update windows.

key bank ATM’s use WinXP Pro. they are Very unstable we get the blue-screen AT LEAST once a week, and it reboots all the time it also likes to eat plastic (cards)

lol. I never knew that ATM machines ran on Windows XP either. It’s kinda funny though, and suprising at the same time.

Id like to find a broken ATM that has windows XP and modify it into an mp3 jukebox and put my mp3s on it and make a cool looking mp3 jukebox. will this work? how big is its hard drive, will it take USB flash drives
