What's the backstory?



Carbanak is a piece of malware originally used to rob banks in Ukraine and Russia by jackpotting ATMs and changing the account balances. Since then the malware has lived on to be used to target US companies such as Chipotle, Ruby Tuesday, Baja Fresh, casinos and so many more. This malware was held tight by the hackers and not shared but now, you can have it too.

The podcast Darknet Diaries Ep 35 does a good job explaining it. Very fascinating.



OH I listen to that podcast. I'll re-listen to that one :)
