ATMs hacked Windows XP with SMS

 
Symantec has demonstrated the ease to hack ATMs with Windows XP, showing the danger of keeping machines with the operating system when Microsoft ends its support on 8 April.
If the market share of Windows XP on the desktop computer market is 29 percent with special emphasis on companies, the situation is much worse ATMs since Windows XP governs 95% of all global ATM.
Hackers would not have expected or the end of support and exploiting vulnerabilities would already be using a combination of hardware and software whose base turns essentially on installing a malware known as Ploutus, a more sophisticated variant of Backdoor known. Ploutus discovered in late 2013.
The interesting thing is that this variant Ploutus allows cybercriminals send a command via SMS to ATM committed and then collect the money dispensed by the machine. It may seem incredible, but this technique may be being used worldwide at this time as shown by Symantec with great detail.
