StarForce Technologies , a leading vendor of software protection tools, has published a new white paper highlighting the criminal threat posed by cyber attacks on automated teller machines (ATMs) - the machines which millions of people use every day to withdraw cash from banks.
Dmitry Gusev, Deputy Marketing Director with StarForce Technologies, said: "Apart from the sometimes huge financial losses incurred through ATM software frauds, reputation risks caused by such frauds are a major issue for banks.
"Reputation is the core factor when it comes to handing your money to a third-party. Banks work hard to win customer trust.
"Leaks of personal data, money theft from accounts and unstable services can cause a loss of customer trust.
"Solid protection of ATMs that have become the main means of bank-to-customer communication is an investment in building a bank's reputation and in maintaining the trust of existing and potential customers."
The StarForce white paper summarises technical recommendations from ATMIA aimed at preventing criminals 'cracking' ATM software - particularly by 'reverse engineering'.
