The news media has made a few 5 second announcements in the past few days about a GLOBAL cyberattack on all Automatic Teller Machines(and now....NOTHING, it's almost like society is ashamed of being helpless).

Back in January, there was an article about “jackpotting” that said….

……“Upgrading to an operating system that isn’t 17 years old would be a good idea,” he added” (well waddya know, common sense is still in fashion SOMETIMES).

This whole thing becomes comical once you begin to realize that society is allowing Atm hacking to be a business.

There doesn't seem to be anything we can do to stop it (there are cyberattack insurance companies, but most are probably only for big corporations).


The announcement was so short and seemingly useless/pointless that it seemed that it was for the purpose of demoralizing society (social engineering????).
