ATM Jackpotting and Cyber-Skimming – an Update from Ukraine
The use of malware for ATM ‘cash out’ or ‘jackpotting’ attacks appears to be on the increase globally. In a European ATM Crime Report covering the full year 2014, EAST reported 51 such incidents, with related losses of €1.23 million. EAST defines such attacks as ‘Malware that takes control of the ATM cash dispense function, thereby allowing the criminals to take out cash’.
At EAST FCS 2015 Olesya Danylchenko, Deputy Director of the Ukrainian Interbank Payment Systems Members Association (ЕМА), will highlight payment fraud issues identified in Ukraine and neighbouring countries, trends in skimming and recent developments in Jackpotting attacks.
