It has been reported that a pair of security researchers have discovered two vulnerabilities in ATMs widely used across the United States that could allow a determined criminal to steal cash and customer data. They found the flaws in machines manufactured by Nautilus Hyosung America Inc., the largest provider of ATMs in the U.S. By gaining access to the same network as the target ATM, the researchers were able to obtain full control of the machine and bypass its security measures. They also discovered master keys to the ATMs for sale on Amazon.com.
