Attackers hit Bitcoin ATMs to steal $1.5 million in crypto cash
"Using this security vulnerability, the attacker uploaded his application directly to the application server used by the admin interface," the chastened ATM vendor wrote."The application server was, by default, configured to start applications in its deployment folder."
This is the second such attack on General Bytes, which had digital coins stolen in August 2022 by miscreants exploiting a flaw in the CAS.Hot wallets present a particular problem in the high-risk crypto market. Wallets would be safer if disconnected from the internet, but users rely on them for quick transactions, which calls for connectivity.
All customers now will manage their own terminals using their own servers. General Bytes will help businesses migrate their data from the cloud to their standalone servers. It's also urging customers to keep their CAS behind a firewall and VPN to prevent other attackers getting into them through the internet.
