Nachi worm infected Diebold ATMs

"The Nachi worm compromised Windows-based automated teller machines
at two financial institutions last August, according to ATM-maker
Diebold, in the first confirmed case of malicious code penetrating cash
machines."

"Though ATMs typically sit on private networks or VPNs, the most
serious worms in the last year have demonstrated that supposedly-isolated
networks often have undocumented connections to the Internet, or can fall
to a piece of malicious code inadvertently carried beyond the firewall on
a laptop computer."

Cheers,
Gary
