Security experts have hacked into cash points in order to show how easy it is to steal money and bank account details.

Security experts have hacked into cash points in order to show how easy it is to steal money and bank account details. With the technology behind modern cash points proving to be as advanced as some desktop PCs, Innominate Security Technologies AG warns how dedicated security solutions are the only option for systems not located in an office-based environment.
“Systems for financial transactions are becoming more vulnerable as the technology that enables them becomes more advanced,” said Joachim Fietz, CEO of industrial security specialist, Innominate. “The information held in these machines is extremely valuable to anyone able to get their hands on it and are an attractive target for hackers. It is clear that hackers are no longer only focusing on office networks with viruses, and companies which operate in other sectors - such as utility companies and manufacturing businesses - should be concerned. Traditional office security measures are not enough - only by installing a dedicated security system such as Innominate’s mGuard, can companies rest easy.”  # Ends # About the ArticleThis article appeared on the Silicon website:http://www.cnet.co.uk/misc/print/0,39030763,49295873,00.htm  About Innominate Security Technologies AG Innominate Security Technologies AG is the market and technology leader for embedded security devices in industrial applications worldwide.
