A Fox 5 investigation exposes a worldwide ATM scam that swindled $9 million and possibly jeopardized sensitive information from people around the world. Law enforcement sources told Fox 5 it’s one of the most frightening well-coordinated heists they’ve ever seen.
Photos from security video (see photo gallery at left)obtained by Fox 5 show of a small piece of a huge scam that took place all in one day in a matter of hours. According to the FBI , ATMs from 49 cities were hit — including Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Montreal, Moscow and Hong Kong.
“We’ve seen similar attempts to defraud a bank through ATM machines but not, not anywhere near the scale we have here,” FBI Agent Ross Rice told Fox 5.
These people in the photos are believed to be “cashers,” low-level players, in a scheme devised from some mastermind — a dangerous computer hacker or hacking ring authorities fear could strike again. So far, the FBI has no suspects and has made no arrests in this scam. An attorney in Atlanta has filed a class-action lawsuit against RBS WorldPay for allegedly failing to protect personal information.

Am i just being Stupid but i can’t see the photo gallery to the left!!
Please can we have a link?
I don’t know how people can not protect their own PIN! It is very easy. Keep it safe at all costs and don’t tell anyone! Claiming a poor memory as a reason for writing it down is daft. There are loads of memory techniques that can be used. Humming a tune, or a simple loci technique.
Try it. heres my PIN, 3961….
oh bugger…..

I quite often check the ATM to see whether I can see if it a genuine one … haha … (well, it’s not funny ..). The other day it just gave me 20 euro without asking me what amount I wanted … That makes you go really like ????????? Fraude ???? And while you think this you type no when it asks if you want a “ticket” …. I keep on to the routine task as usual .. and my other self is thinking .. not working out always so well … Most people don’t even check the amount anymore when they click YES when paying somewhere … which can cost you money … (they hardly ever give by mistake a lower amount . )
The trouble those criminas cause .. in private lifes ..
Thats mental! Reckon they’d lend some to the banks?
