IoT crisis: Russian ATM machine automatically spit after being attacked by the program

With the rapid development of Internet of Things technology, the security of the Internet of Things has become increasingly prominent. According to the Russian "Kommersant" news, the Russian bank found that there are malicious programs in the ATM machine, and will automatically dispense money after entering a specific code.

According to the description of the Russian bank, the attack on the ATM is a non-physical virus called "Bespalova", which first appeared in Russia. Since the virus itself is not a physical file, the anti-virus software cannot recognize it, so the virus program can exist in the infected ATM machine indefinitely.

In fact, this is not the first time an ATM has been attacked. According to Reuters, a Russian security company called Group-IB found that ATMs of European multinational banks were hacked, including the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom and other countries.

In addition, according to Xinhua News Agency, China Taiwan and Bangkok, Thailand also had incidents of ATM hacking in the past year. Among them, an ATM machine in Taiwan was stolen by $2.5 million (about 17.22 million yuan). An ATM in Thailand was stolen and led to 12 million baht (about 2.33 million yuan).

As the third wave of the development of the world's information industry, the Internet of Things is closely linking people and objects through technologies such as intelligent perception, recognition technology and communication computing. According to data released by information analysis company Gartnert, by 2020, the number of connected devices worldwide will reach 26 billion, and the Internet of Things market will reach 1.9 trillion US dollars. The more "big" and "close" the Internet of Things is, the more serious the security problems are.

In addition to ATM attacks by virus programs, in the Internet of Things era, hackers' control of network servers and private devices is closely related to everyone.

In 2016, the Internet of Things botnet launched a large-scale DDOS attack on a number of US websites, resulting in the inaccessibility of hundreds of US websites such as Twitter, Netflix, CNN, and The Wall Street Journal. The incident was brought to the attention of the US Department of Homeland Security. After investigation, the attacker used a large number of IoT devices to implement the attack.

In addition, hackers can control a variety of personal devices such as mobile phones, smart home appliances, and auto-driving systems for cars. In a word, any smart device that accesses the Internet of Things may be threatened by hacking programs. US telecom operator Verizon revealed that a US university was attacked by DDoS. Under the tracing, it found that there were more than 5,000 devices connected to the Internet, including network lights and vending machines.

For the security of the Internet of Things, Hitcon Girls co-founders Lai Yufang and Shen Qien said at the 2017 Security Conference:

The security issues arising from Internet of Things (IoT) devices must be addressed, because these devices may be exposed to more personal privacy than computers, and once hacked, the consequences are unimaginable. The security of IoT devices is closely related to us. Whether you are a manufacturer or a user, you and I must understand how to reduce their security risks.

Zheng Jie, chairman of China Mobile Zhejiang Corporation, put forward the proposal of “based on strategic height and building an Internet of Things security guarantee system” at the two sessions this year. He said:

While China's Internet of Things industry is vigorously developing, its security situation is not optimistic. Once the Internet of Things security issue occurs, it will cause privacy information leakage and economic loss, and threaten national security.

Manual Pulse Generator

A manual pulse generator (MPG) is a device normally associated with computer numerically controlled machinery or other devices involved in positioning. It usually consists of a rotating knob that generates electrical pulses that are sent to an equipment controller. The controller will then move the piece of equipment a predetermined distance for each pulse.
