Smart Crook finds operator’s manual for an ATM machine on the Internet. Crook gets prepaid & untraceable debit card.
The Smart Crook finds an ATM still using the manufacturer’s default password. He then reprograms it to think it is handing out $5 bills not $20 bills. The Smart Crook takes his extra money and leaves. Nine days later, some honest person reports that she got too much money from the machine.
CNN reports the crime, now a lot of Not-So-Smart Crooks know how to do this.
