New Malware That Makes ATMs Keep Your Card

A new type of malware that can be used to compromise ATMs independently of who their manufacturer is, and can make the machine steal card data but also the cards themselves, has been spotted by FireEye researchers.

The dubbed the malware Suceful, after the authors’ faulty spelling of the word “successful”. The sample they analyzed came from VirusTotal, and it’s likely that the authors submitted it themselves in order to see whether the malware will be flagged down as such by the various AV engines employed by the testing service.
