Hackers attacked bitcoin ATMs around the world
One of the leaders in the cryptocurrency ATM market, General Boutes, has released a statement regarding a hacker attack on its bitcoin ATMs around the world.
The attackers successfully carried out a zero-day attack on General Boutes' servers, exploiting a vulnerability in the software.
They were lucky enough to create a fake administrator account and modify the settings for buying and selling cryptocurrency in such a way as to take advantage of them.
General Butes employees asked customers to stop using bitcoin ATMs until the specialists patch the software and install it. Representatives of the cryptomachine manufacturer have not yet confirmed how many bitcoins the crackers have stolen.
