Flashback to 2003: the Nachi worm infected several Diebold ATMs
The major drawback, as with the Internet itself, is security. Firewalls, secured servers, and other measures such as virus protection are critical. In August 2003, the Nachi worm infected several Diebold ATMs. Outbound traffic from the infected machines stopped, thus resulting in an inconvenience to customers. The cause of this event was determined to be that a security patch wasn’t loaded on the ATMs even though it was available for over a month.
