Hackers exploit zero day bug to steal from General Bytes Bitcoin ATMs

Bitcoin ATM manufacturer General Bytes had its servers compromised via a zero-day attack on Aug. 18, which enabled the hackers to make themselves the default admins and modify settings so that all funds would be transferred to their wallet address.

The amount of funds stolen and number of ATMs compromised has not been disclosed but the company has urgently advised ATM operators to update their software.
