“This new discovery is remarkable because it shows a clear tendency for malware writers to attack an ever-increasing variety of platforms. A new family of malware, specifically targeting ATMs, has been discovered, according to a blog post by Trend Micro. The malware, known as Alice, is notable for its lack of any features other than the ability to empty an ATM's safe. Alice was discovered in late May and quickly spread across multiple ATM networks around the world. The post said ATM malware is becoming a mainstream problem, with criminals resorting to hiding their creations using "custom packers and other obfuscation techniques".
