>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.
>
>The machines were in an advanced line of Diebold ATMs built atop Windows
>XP Embedded, which, like most versions of Windows, was vulnerable to the
>RPC DCOM security bug exploited by Nachi, and its more famous forebear,
>Blaster.
>
>At both affected institutions the ATMs began aggressively scanning for
>other vulnerable machines, generating anomalous waves of network traffic
>that tripped the banks' intrusion detection systems, resulting in the
>infected machines being automatically cut off, Diebold executives said.
