There is no surprise here. The ATM companies making the machines and their software are so old school and simply outdated in terms of cybersecurity.

so old school

I'd go further than that. These companies are, demonstrably, run by total idiots.

I knew someone who worked for an ATM company back in the mid 1980s. Coordinated attacks exploiting weaknesses were routine even then!

That's right. People have been finding hacks to steal cash from ATMs for at least 35 years!

That's 35 freaking calendar years. How much is that in Internet years? :)

If game consoles are any indication, even if the security gets better over time it will never be "hack proof"

I used to read how OS/2 had a niche running ATMs long after the general public had lost interest. Wonder if that's still the case. I almost think I may have seen one crash and display a Windows CE screen once.
