According to China's voice, "news in the vertical and horizontal" report, an American lad easily, let an ATM machine automatically vomit money, which also shocked the audience around. This video is not really magic, it was a hacker's show in the 2010 World Hacker Conference. In the eyes of most people, ATM machines are hard to break, but in fact many do not know that ATM machines and our computers have the same operating system, and this is the operating system we are familiar with Microsoft Windows XP. So that raises a question, and we know that a while ago Microsoft announced that it would stop updating Windows XP and not release patches for XP systems. According to statistics, 95% of the world's bank ATM is carrying an XP system. Once Microsoft stops technical support for Windows XP systems, it means the ATM will not be able to receive security patches. If there is no patch, these ATMs will become a "big sieve", so that hackers have an opportunity? The ATM machine is solid, almost a common sense. But once there was an American boy named Jack, moving his finger, let ATM become a money-throwing artifact. A number of Web sites, have uploaded this bill brush out the surging video. "We always think of ATMs as safe, but that doesn't mean they are safe: like any computer-controlled system, ATMs can be hacked." "But most people believe that the ATM machine is still a very hard to spit money, until the media published articles that because 95% of the ATM is equipped with Windows XP system, and the system will be completely stopped this April update, will likely cause ATM large area into a security hole." For a time, one side is panic, one is daydreaming: squatting at the ATM door to pick up the day is coming? In this respect, expanding U-ting expert An Yang said, hey, think is really beautiful. An Yang: In the domestic is no effect, because the domestic ATM terminal system is not a patch, and many ATM terminals in China and the use of Win2000, Microsoft has already stopped Win2000 support, but still in the study. Because the domestic ATM machine itself is not dependent on the operating system to patch to protect. No patches? Really? Think of us also on the Internet to buy a three melon two jujube, also rush to Trojan virus every day. ATM is a belly full of money things, every day with loopholes naked running, really no problem? To this An Yang introduction, ATM security protection has two main magic weapons. An Yang: The main is: first, you know that there is no USB interface in ATM, it is the USB interface closed up, no way through the USB device to invade it. In addition, there is his own set of protective system, that is, you may be able to use the panel to tune out the interface, but you have to break through his protective system to penetrate into his intranet. This situation has also been confirmed by Guo Yingying, director of the electronic Banking Department of the Zhejiang Tai Lung Commercial Bank. Guo YingYing: at ordinary times our ATM machines are connected to our intranet, will not have any contact with the extranet. Like our maintenance staff on the machine to do maintenance, but also with a disc, will not plug in any u disk. So our ATM should say there will be no direct contact with the outside world. Reporter: You said the disc, its entrance, we usually see it? Guo Yingying: This is invisible. Because there is a door to shut it, each ATM machine above all there is a door, only our managers have the key, usually customers are not see the door, because it is in the note room, not to the customer.
