Cybergang Compromises Every ATM In Russian City 74
Orome1 writes "A group of fraudsters has been arrested in Yakutsk and Moscow for allegedly compromising all the ATMs in the city of Yakutsk — population: around 210,000 — in the Republic of Yakutia in the Russian Federation. Three of the men formed the actual criminal group, and the fourth — a Moscow-based malware developer — was 'subcontracted' by them and received 100,000 rubles (some $3200) to develop a custom ATM virus with which they would infect the devices."

but still you'd think there'd be some security to prevent some crooked employee from just emptying out an ATM whenever he felt like it.
Considering they were caught before they could do anything I would say it's a fair assumption.
