High-tech Thieves Snatch Data From ATMs

[Jim Cheesman]

Something similar happened in England a few years back: Some "cybercrooks"* 
set up an entire false bank - only the shop frontage and the cash machine, 
which would display the customary "Sorry this service not available blah 
blah blah" message if the user tried to get cash out. I believe the bank 
was Nationwide, and that the scam run for at least a month before anyone 
caught on.

I currently have no web access, so no links, no details - sorry.


*Why "cyber"crooks?

Best,
Jim
