ATM Hack Uncovered
`A security expert in New York has learned how to get free money from some ATMs by entering a special code sequence on the PIN pad.
Last week, news reports circulated about a cyber thief who strolled into a gas station in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and, with no special equipment, reprogrammed the mini ATM in the corner to think it had $5.00 bills in its dispensing tray, instead of $20.00 bills.
Using a pre-paid debit card, the crook then made a withdrawal, and casually strolled off with a 300% profit in his pocket.’
