ATM Security

[attachment=38844]

Objectives

Firstly it is self protection, to prevent incidents happening and so to maintain the ATM service.
Secondly, when a security incident occurs it is to maintain the ATM service to the aircraft, to safeguard other traffic, to support other agencies who have responsibility for security and to restore the air traffic situation to normal as soon as possible without any lost.
Information Sniffing: The attacker connects into the transmission media and gain unauthorized access to the data.
ATM Based Spoofing: Whenever the ATM address of a server is known for the attacker it can establish a direct ATM connection to that host.
Denial of Service: ATM is a connection-oriented technique. A connection, which is called Virtual Circuit. If an attacker sends signal to any intrmediate switch on the way of a VC, then the VC will be disconnected.
ATM Switch Attack: An attacker might use a protocol in order to manipulate a switch. He could inject incorrect information in the peer group database or even try to configure routing loops into the hierarchic structure.
Traffic Analysis: the hacker can get information by collecting and analyzing the ATM network traffic information such as the volume, timing and the communication parties of a VC, even the content of the information is encrypted.
ATMs were first introduced in 1939. Today, around 3 million units are installed worldwide. As the number of ATM units increases, machines are prone to hacker attacks, fraud, theft, and security breaches. In the past, the main purpose of ATMs was to deliver cash in the form of bank notes and to debit a corresponding bank account. However, ATMs are becoming more complicated, and serve many functions, making it a high priority target for thieves and hackers.

Modern ATMs are implemented with high security protection measures. They work under complex systems and networks to make transactions. Data processed by ATMs is often encrypted, but hackers can use discrete hacking devices to hack accounts and withdraw the account balance. Alternatively, unskilled thieves threaten bank patrons with a weapon to steal their money or account withdrawn.

ATM vandals can physically manipulate the ATM to obtain cash, or employ methods of removing credit cards to acquire control of the user's credit card account. Credit card fraud can be done by inserting discreet skimming devices over the keyboard or credit card reader. The alternative form of credit card fraud is to identify the PIN directly with devices such as hidden cameras near the keyboard.
