From time to time, because they know I work for SophosLabs, my friends ask me about different malware types and forward me warnings of alleged malware outbreaks, which often turn out to be just standard hoax emails.
If anybody asked me a couple of days ago about malware targeting cash machines I would be fairly sure they have received another hoax message and try to reassure them. I would tell them that there are no malware samples targeting ATMs and that infecting ATMs with malicious program to steal credit card details and PINs would be a very difficult job.
