Over at the Wired News Threat Level blog, Kevin Poulsen has an item up about a recent ATM robbery in Pennsylvania in which an unidentified, beflipflopped guy in shorts….
…strolled into Mastrorocco's Market and reprogrammed the cash machine to think it was dispensing dollar bills instead of twenties. Along with a female accomplice, the crook netted over $1,540 in two visits on June 19 and 20, according to store owner Vince Mastrorocco. "They came in, they hit me the first day — a man and a woman — and they cleaned me out," Mastrorocco told THREAT LEVEL. "Then they came back the next day and cleaned me out again."
A sergeant with the Derry Borough Police Department they're still investigating the crime, and no arrests have been made.
Of course, THREAT LEVEL readers know exactly what happened. The machine was a Triton 9100, and like competitor Tranax, Triton printed its default administrative passcodes in its ATM service manuals, which have been widely available online. We reported on this last September after a Virginia Beach gas station ATM (a Tranax) got hit with the same hack.
