How much money is in an ATM.
Inside one ATM there is up to 15 million rubles. And the closer it is to a shopping center or casino, the larger the amount. And such ATMs, well, are very attractive to robbers. But how to get money out of there is a delicate question. That is why such a selection appeared on the forum - 10 of the craziest ATM hacks.
Blew up an ATM and died.
As they say, c'est la vie. In the middle of the night, two robbers broke into the camp of a bank branch where there are 24-hour ATMs. Their brilliant plan raises many questions for me, but judge for yourself. They came with two gas cylinders to pump the ATMs with gas and blow them up from the inside. Apparently, they expected that the detonation would damage the outer tin walls, but not damage the safe. However, how they were going to drag this safe away later is not very clear. In general, everything did not go according to plan. It exploded with such force that the blast wave blew out the windows and doors, and the ceiling collapsed from above.
One of the robbers was mortally wounded by metal fragments, and the second escaped. The police arrived at the noise. It is surprising, of course, that the guys did not check the power of what they were taking with them in advance. But, by the way, such attacks on ATMs are not uncommon. In order to reduce the activity of robbers, banks began to add ink, which is poured over the money when trying to break in.
Financing from a joke bank.
There are quite a few such stories, and they all make me happy. Literally a year and a half ago, criminals managed to deposit almost three million rubles in a bank ATM with souvenir five-thousand notes. They deposited in one ATM and immediately withdrew real money from another. If you are interested in what kind of notes these are and how this initiative scheme still works, then I will tell you. Of course, only for reference purposes. The method is dangerous, and, as you already know, illegal. You need to find a banknote acceptor or just its validator in advance. You can buy it on the Darknet, but not only.
For example, ATMs of bankrupt banks can be found in auctions. On the validator, you will check whether it will accept your money. Then you buy tickets of the joke bank with a face value of 2 or 5 thousand rubles and start upgrading them. For example, the banknote acceptor did not accept the banknote because there is no metal strip, we get a similar one and glue it on our banknote. There is no hologram, we try to imitate it with a foil base. In fact, there is no superintelligence in ATMs. You need to fulfill several conditions, and voila, the money is accepted.
Such schemes are everywhere, from Moscow to Kurgan. Almost all banks have outdated ATMs. The Central Bank generally says that there are already 40 thousand old ATMs in Russia. And now many are worried about what will happen to the money if new ATMs are completely stopped being imported. What can I say, check the money that the ATM gave you. It may turn out that T-Bank is not the only joke bank.
ATM versus an axe.
Four robbers break into a grocery store in the area where the ATMs are located. It is clear that they have studied the location well and know where the camera is. Note that none of them are seen. The plan of action is also thought out. They use a crowbar to pry open the bottom flap of the ATM, get to the protective panel, which is also the safe door, and crush the fasteners with an axe. It must be said that they do everything very quickly. The Moscow Region police arrive at a call in 5 minutes on average, so the time here is calculated, in my opinion, quite wisely. Here they put on a cable, attach the other end to the car and rip the door off its hinges.
They take all the cassettes and disappear. The ATM is left in a sad state. The robbers, however, left the axe and crowbar at the crime scene as evidence. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the perpetrators were identified by video analytics based on artificial intelligence. It recognizes suspicious behavior and signals the police. To be honest, you don't need artificial intelligence to figure out that an ATM is being robbed. Meanwhile, the guys had 300 thousand rubles in their hands. After the raid, the police detained two men who are suspected of a whole series of thefts. Apparently, this was the last one, otherwise it's not very clear. Do they buy a new axe every time? By the way, the neighboring ATM is a joy, it looks like life has already worn it out.
23 ATMs over the weekend.
Three robbers came up with a brilliant plan somewhere in Bosnia. They got hold of decoders that allow them to intercept control of an ATM. After that, they waited until Friday. On Friday, as we know, all bank employees go home and then don't work for two days. Therefore, no one is reducing the cash gap.
During this time, or rather 53 hours, the criminals methodically visited 23 ATMs in 16 cities. They broke into each ATM, gave the command to issue funds and took out everything that was there. And there were almost 3 million marks there. That is, at that time, it was 100 million rubles. It was even more fun with the bank. No one there took enough of this money until the police themselves detained the suspects and confiscated the cash and decoders. The bank employees had a great Monday, that is, a whole working day, they were not bothered by anything at all. And only then did they take some of the money and send a request to the banking agency. And the agency already added 2 plus 2. By the way, the decoder computers remained with the police, but not the money. Almost the entire amount, as well as one of the robbers, have not yet been found.
Hipsters in a Porsche.
Kiev robbers in white clothes, white hats and a white Porsche Cayenne burst into an exchange office, opened a safe and took out 30 thousand dollars But an oil change from an official dealer was apparently missing from the Internet After this, they were called all sorts of names And hipsters, and luxury robbers, and VIP gypsies They expected that this would be their signature style in robberies But nothing more was heard about them Perhaps they were told that this was not the best disguise To be honest, I don’t feel sorry for the guy who ended up in the exchange office He protected the money as if it was not insured, which, by the way, may well be true. When you see something like this, you hope that karma will catch up with these guys one day.
Go ahead, I yield.
I don’t know how people stumble upon such vulnerabilities, but this is clearly talent. A resident of Dnepropetrovsk discovered that in certain situations an ATM is capable of copying the ATM card details of the person using it. How did it work? The fraudster buys blank cards in advance, i.e. those that will have the number and owner printed on them in the future. He inserts the card into an ATM, which does not recognize the blank card.
After that, the fraudster takes it and lets the person standing behind him in line through The ATM has not yet identified the card, so the session is not complete It accepts a new card during the same session, reads it and accepts it as the same That is, the details of the new and old cards become identical After that, you need to link the card to a new phone number Now, having the same empty card and access to the SIM card, you can withdraw all the money that is in the accounts of this random unlucky person This is how he managed to get more than a million hryvnia, that is, several million rubles It is not known how the police managed to find him, but it all ended quite prosaically - they came with a search, found a bunch of schemes and empty cards, well, and this curious story is all And I advise you to check that you are approaching an ATM that is currently not active.
Radio amateurs who love money.
But in Nizhny Dagyl, ATMs were robbed using bad radio, or rather, radio interference. The scheme worked with ATMs that were located no higher than the first floor. And this, by the way, is almost any ATM. The robbers checked in advance what kind of alarm system was installed, as well as how strong the floors and walls were in the room and what material they were made of.
Sounds interesting already, right? If everything was in order, the criminals entered the room and turned off the alarm. After that, using radio interference, they blocked the communication channel of the complexes for issuing and receiving money. Thus, no discrepancy signal was received. After that, they took gas welding equipment, cut the ATM and took out the money. It is worth noting that you need to have a certain skill so as not to damage the cassettes, and not to set everything around on fire. Returning to the loot. In two years, this gang managed to take out more than 8 million rubles.
They set fire to an ATM and burned the money.
And these guys were not so clever. In fact, it seems they did not intend to think through the details. It looks like they got hold of gas welding equipment somewhere and came for the money. They tried to open the ATM with a gas cutter, but the attempt turned into a tragedy. The cassette was damaged, and the money caught fire. In general, if anyone did not know, the money is covered with a special substrate to strengthen it.
It is different for banknotes of different denominations. The ATM was filled with banknotes of 5 and 10 thousand tenge, and this is a considerable denomination, so it is more difficult to burn them. After the forgery, as expected, the alarm went off, and the would-be thief had to hide. In general, the guys tried to glory. That day, as much as 5 million tenge were in danger, and at that time this was about 1 million rubles. The bank assured that there was nothing to worry about, and the damaged banknotes were subject to exchange. I wonder who they reassured themselves with this? Their insurance company?
The conclusion from this story is simple - you can't open an ATM with any thermal tool for cutting thick metal parts. For example, here's a photo of how some other guys came out to rob, who apparently suspected a trick. The ATM is wrapped in fireproof fabric.
Wiretapping cards.
Many have heard about keyboard overlays or card readers that copy user data. Another variation of the same method was discovered, but more cunning. A listening device for reading other people's cards is inserted into the hole in the front card of the ATM.
After that, it is covered with a fake sticker. Such a device does not read the card itself, but intercepts recognized card data from the legitimate reader inside the ATM. Therefore, it is impossible to see such a device. Sometimes hidden cameras are hidden inside fake brochure racks. Such devices do not store data, but transmit it directly to the receiving device, which must be located less than one meter from the ATM.
My laptop will lie here.
The story is interesting from a technical point of view. The robbers did not break into the ATMs physically and approached the ATM, emptied it and quickly disappeared. But how did this happen? It turned out that the attackers looked for ATMs with weak surveillance cameras in advance, opened it and connected a laptop to it, which they left there. The laptop had drivers installed for remote access to the dispenser, but generally speaking, ATMs usually have very outdated operating systems, such as Windows 7 or even XP, so accessing them is not as difficult as even a regular PC on Windows 10. Often, even the contents of the hard drive are not encrypted.
Then the story developed as follows. The attacker approached the ATM and pretended to want to withdraw money. At this time, a command was sent to the computer to issue cash. Then the robber took all the money, and then the laptop. It is curious that a few years ago, the fruit for such fraud was completely legal. That is, it was impossible to go to jail for using it. By the way, if you have heard about carbonac, then these are the methods they used. However, quite a few sources claim that they did not even need to bring a laptop with them to do this. By the way, they say that 70% of ATMs are vulnerable to this type of attack and it can be done in 10 minutes.
Now you know a little more. And that's all for today. See you!
