In 2020, there were 202 ATM-related malware and hacking attacks in Europe, compared with 140 in the previous year.Malware and hacking incidents are based on ever evolving cybercriminal techniques, designed to rob customers of their savings either through card or PIN skimming methods (lower-level) or without having to compromise their debit cards, designed to attack the ATMs directly (higher-level). In some of the more sophisticated hack attacks, the access to back-end of ATM machines is used, in order to compromise their security.
