Apparently ATM hackers are now hitting the U.S. hard. A report from two agencies says that the number of "jackpotting" attacks-- or getting ATMS to spit out all of the cash inside-- have increased in several places, including the U.S. Previously this cash-out hacking had mostly been a crime committed overseas. Last year, hackers got into computers at an Indian bank and walked off with $11.5 million in unauthorized ATM withdrawals. One major weak point is that many ATMS are basically just very old, slow computers running Windows.
