Got Cash?


Well, now. You know the fancy computer virus Stuxnet that was seemingly developed to target Siemens computer software? Well, supposedly it was only for machines related to developing nuclear weapons.

But Siemens doesn't just make computer hardware and software for that purpose. They make other things.... like ATMs and banking hardware and software.

And Rodney Joffe, senior technologist at Neustar, calls Stuxnet a "precision guided cybermunition" and predicts that criminals will try to use Stuxnet to infect ATMs run by PLCs to steal money from the machines.

And I'm not saying this is what happened in Australia this weekend, but 

A corrupted file in the National Australia Bank's computers on Wednesday jammed its payment system, hitting customers from a range of banks who rely on the NAB to process payments.
  

Yeah, it may not be a virus. But as unstable as the world economy a.k.a. "bankster house of cards" is right now,  it wouldn't take a lot to see some stupidly destructive overreactions on somebody's part.
