As per sources, a threat actor is advertising a new ATM malware family, dubbed “EU ATM Malware,” claiming it can compromise 99% of devices in Europe and approximately 60% of ATMs worldwide. Priced at $30,000, this malware targets machines from leading vendors including Diebold Nixdorf, Hyosung, Oki, Bank of America, NCR, GRG, and Hitachi. According to DailyDarkweb, the malware is designed from scratch and boasts the potential to generate up to $30,000 per ATM. It is fully automated, making deployment and operation straightforward and efficient, but also supports a manual operation mode for added flexibility.
