Wincor World 2010: Cash Cycle Management Solutions in Focus
The topic of cash cycle management will be the focus of Wincor World 2010, which will take place in Paderborn from January 26 to 28. At this event, Wincor Nixdorf invites IT decision-makers from all over the world to join in the discussion on IT solutions that enable the optimization of branch and store processes at retail banks and retail companies. The company and many of its partners will present solutions for hardware, software, service and professional services across an area of some 10,000 square meters. As in years past, a prominent feature of the event is the targeted transfer of know-how through a program of presentations.
The circulation of cash – which continues to be the leading payment medium – is the source of extensive manual work and high processing costs in addition to posing security risks. For this reason, Wincor Nixdorf is placing solutions for cash management at the heart of this year’s Wincor World. With its innovative, significantly expanded Cash Cycle Management Solutions portfolio, Wincor Nixdorf is presenting itself as an end-to-end supplier for the design of intelligent cash processes. A number of solution scenarios demonstrate how the redesign and automation of cash processes through innovative technologies can significantly increase efficiency, transparency and security. As a result, savings of more than twenty percent in the costs of cash processing can be achieved. Wincor Nixdorf’s approach rests on streamlining cash management in retail stores and banks, but beyond that it intelligently connects cash processes across sectors. The company will therefore present not just concrete solutions for cash processes in bank branches and stores, but also concepts for cross-sector cash cycle management. Read the rest of this entry »

Winnipeg police said this morning that a preliminary investigation has found that debit card machine pin pads at several businesses have been compromised, with the information used in fraudulent purchases in eastern Canada.
Police said that the investigation is expected to take several months, adding that financial institutions in the city are co-operating.
Anyone who believes that their debit card information has been used in a fraudulent purchase should contact their financial institution.

ATM fraud cases raise questions over electronic security
Source: The Jordan Times
By Mohammad Ghazal
AMMAN – Police have urged the public to be cautious when using automated teller machines (ATMs), after 12 foreigners were arrested this week for committing ATM fraud.
The thieves, who are believed to have been operating in the country for about two weeks, installed card skimmers and small cameras on ATMs around Amman, using these devices to collect customers’ bank card information and withdraw money from their accounts. No figures were available on the amount of stolen money.
The 12 are believed to be part of a network of ATM thieves working in several countries in the region, said Public Security Department Spokesperson Major Mohammad Khatib. Read the rest of this entry »
ATM plus CreditCard Security Congress in the Principality of Monaco
ATM plus CreditCard Security Congress in the Principality of Monaco
Personally I am beginning to check if it would make sense to create and establish an annual ATM security conference in the Principality of Monaco. Monaco is the ideal place for a prestigious conference. Monaco is deeply involved in any form of money related businesses. We have an enormous concentration of high potentials from the banking industry at Monaco. So I believe that Monaco is the perfect location for an ATM security related conference. Sure I have the best links inside Monaco to be able to organize an event like that.
What do you think about? Who would be interested to come to Monaco for an ATM / CreditCard security related conference? We can discuss it here and of course you are welcome to send me a personal message using the contact form..
Should critical security problems concerning ATMs be discussed on the net?
What do you think about? Example: Forbidden Juniper presentation
Check the link to read the blog post at Juniper.
An employee of Juniper obviously discovered a security leek in the network structure used by Automated Teller Machines. This problem seems to concern one ATM manufacturer directly – the name was not mentioned. The employee of Juniper has prepared a presentation for the Blackhat USA 2009 conference to show more details about this issue. The vendor has forbidden to show the presentation. Juniper says that not only this vendor is concerned, the problem could touch any ATM.
Do you think the decision to forbid Juniper to show the presentation was a good one?

Security Alert: Malicious software (malware) found installed on compromised ATMs (Automated Teller Machines)
Trustwave’s SpiderLabs performed the analysis of malicious software (malware) found
installed on compromised ATMs (Automated Teller Machines) in the Eastern European
region. This malware captures magnetic stripe data and PIN codes from the private memory
space of transaction-processing applications installed on a compromised ATM. The
compromised ATMs discussed in this briefing ran Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system.
The malware contains advanced management functionality allowing the attacker to fully
control the compromised ATM through a customized user interface built into the malware.
This interface is accessible by inserting controller cards into the ATM’s card reader.
SpiderLabs analysts do not believe the malware includes networking functionality that
would allow it to send harvested data to other, remote locations via the Internet. The
malware does, however, allow for the output of harvested card data via the ATM’s receipt
printer or by writing the data to an electronic storage device (possibly using the ATM’s card
reader). Analysts also discovered code indicating that the malware could eject the cash-
dispensing cassette.
What follows is a high-level summary of the key features identified during Trustwave’s in-
depth analysis of the malware sample. It is, however, believed that this is a relatively early
version of the malware and that subsequent versions have seen significant additions to its
functionality.
