North Korean Hackers Target ATMs with New Linux Malware

North Korean hackers have expanded their attacks on financial systems, now targeting Linux-based systems with a malware known as FASTCash.

This malware, which can manipulate payment transactions, was originally designed for Unix and later adapted for Windows.

The new Linux version of FASTCash poses a significant threat to ATM networks, as it can alter transaction messages to enable fraudulent activities.

Security researchers have issued warnings and provided technical details to help organizations protect themselves from this evolving threat.
