Mazda3 Posted August 13, 2018 #1 Posted August 13, 2018 Trend Micro, a software company in Tokyo, discovered in Darknet available malicious programs available to purchase, designed to crack the crypts. Trend Micro was informed about its finding on the pages of the official blog of the company: "For $ 25,000 you can purchase software for reprogramming the EMV chip installed on each credit card. With the help of a hacked card, you can hack terminals and withdraw the amount in dollars, euros or pounds equivalent to $ 6,750 " Initially, EMV chips were developed by leading credit card providers to store data on integrated circuits, rather than on magnetic strips, while the NFC allows two electronic devices to wirelessly exchange information. According to Trend Micro, the seller received more than 100 online orders for both the purchase of malicious software aimed at the vulnerability of cryptomata, and for other products. The seller also offers malicious software for conventional ATMs, which has been updated to the level of EMV standards. Further studies have reportedly shown that malware uses a menu vulnerability and disables ATM from the network so that it does not give alarms. In conclusion, Trend Micro suggested: "While money is being circled in the sphere of crypto currency, and a lot of money, cybercriminals will continue to develop tools and enter new profitable markets. As the number of bitcoins and ATMs grows, new malicious programs should appear in the future to break them " In May, it was estimated that around 3,000 cryptomata were installed in the world. Most of them are in New York, Chicago, Australia, France and Malta. To date, the number of bitcoins-ATMs has increased by 500 pieces - now there are 3503.
