The FBI says hacks that trick ATMs into spitting out cash on demand are rising, with hundreds of attacks in the past year ...
Malware-wielding criminals "jackpotted" ATMs across the United States last year to walk away with $20 million thanks to "cash-out" attacks.
Hackers hit more than 700 ATMs last year, resulting in $20 million worth of losses, the FBI says. The malware can instruct an ATM to dispense cash on demand, no bank card needed.
The FBI released a public warning, saying that ATM "jackpotting" incidents have exponentially increased in 2025.
The attacks cost banks more than $20 million last year, as criminals used many of the same tools and tactics they have wielded for more than a decade.
