SUCEFUL

SUCEFUL is a threat that is designed to target Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) from different vendors to take money from their clients. SUCEFUL may be used to hold and retain cards, disable any alarms on the ATM and read debit and credit card track data. This has made SUCEFUL an alarming new player in the threat world, allowing third parties to collect large amounts of money directly from computer users, as well as having the ability to cause numerous problems.

The Harmful Actions of SUCEFUL and Other ATM Threats

Since 2013, PC security researchers have been aware of threats that may be used to trick ATMs into dispensing money to unauthorized users. However, PC security researchers have reported the appearance of SUCEFUL, a new threat that is specifically designed to target card holders by attacking them through the affected ATM. SUCEFUL, or Backdoor.ATM.Suceful seems to have been created on August 25 of 2015. SUCEFUL was first uploaded from Russia and is currently going through its development phase.

SUCEFUL can target ATMs from different vendors by targeting the XFS Manager, a platform used by multiple ATMs. The XFS Manager is designed to be independent of any vendor and run anywhere. Unfortunately, this means that threats like SUCEFUL that are designed specifically to target that platform will then be capable of attacking ATMs from multiple vendors. SUCEFUL, in particular, is targeted for Diebold and NCR ATMs.

What can SUCEFUL Do?

PC security analysts have analyzed SUCEFUL and have found that SUCEFUL has the potential to carry out numerous threatening operations on infected ATMs. The following are some of the abilities of SUCEFUL that are currently suspected:

1. On NCR or Diebold ATMs, SUCEFUL can read all credit card and debit card track data, meaning that SUCEFUL can collect credit card numbers and carry out various operations.
2. SUCEFUL can read data from credit and debit card chips.
3. SUCEFUL can disable ATM sensors that may be designed to detect similar threats as well as any kind of possible alarm.
4. PC security researchers have noted that SUCEFUL can be controlled using the ATM PIN pad, allowing third parties to retrieve data or send instructions to their threat.
5. One of the most alarming aspects of SUCEFUL is that SUCEFUL is capable of holding the victim's card or ejecting it on demand. Third parties may use SUCEFUL to make the affected ATM retain the victim's credit card. When the victim leaves the ATM to ask for help retrieving their card, the attackers can eject and get the card from the affected ATM.

Have SUCEFUL Attacks Been Observed?

SUCEFUL attacks have not been observed in the wild. PC security researchers, therefore, have no evidence on how SUCEFUL is installed on affected ATMs or in what ways this threat is delivered. If SUCEFUL is delivered using methods similar to other ATM threat infections (such as Ploutus and PadPin), then the con artists have to gain access to the targeted ATM. To install the threat, the targeted ATM needs to be opened from the top and then a USB or CD-ROM can be used to transfer the threat infection. In many cases, employees with access to ATMs are bribed to perform these kinds of operations for the people responsible for these kinds of threats. If your card is stuck in an ATM, PC security researchers strongly advise against walking away. Keep your bank's number handy (a number should also be present in most cases in the vicinity of the ATM) so you can look for help without having to leave the ATM and your credit or debit card unguarded.
