Tyupkin

The creators of threats are always inventing new ways to seize money. Now, there is a threat named Tyupkin that is infecting ATM machines and taking the cash stored on these machines. ATM machines based on the United States, China, Europe and Russia are suffering constant attacks by Tyupkin. The modus operandi of the people behind Tyupkin consists in going to the ATM machine they intend to attack, install the threat via a bootable CD on it and then reboot the system. With this part done, they will have the ATM's control. They type certain digits on the ATM's keyboard without sliding a card. Then, they call an operator that will give additional instructions to them, type another combination of digits and the machine will start releasing all the money it has. To hide their criminal activities, the hackers work on Sundays and Mondays nights since there will be few costumers using the machines. This is not the first time ATM machines have been attacked, and regretfully, it will not be the last.
