ATM Security Breach

Bengaluru-based payments security firm SISA Infosec, hired by Hitachi to carry out a PCI forensic audit of India’s the worst cyber breach involving 2.9 million debt cards, submitted its audit report to the RBI. The report brings out an uncomfortable truth that most Indian banks and corporates will now have to deal with. It says the anti-virus and anti-malware devices they have installed are no match for targeted cyber attacks. What this means is that if the code of a malware, floated by the hacker, is written in a clever way, it can overcome most anti-malware walls.
