Windows XP on Gulf Bank ATMs

Submitted by rayboy on January 6, 2009 – 7:10 am3 Comments

This happened the other day… I went to withdraw money at the GulfBank ATM in Sharq… the screen was blacked out.. i thought it wasnt working, so  was about to leave. Suddenly the familar screen appeared…so i had to take an immediate shot from my cell. Then the familiar Windows Start up Music and the default windows screen with the regular icons…

The thought of the ATM running on a Windows Platform, than A vendor specific OS over a embedded Device, makes its scary…

the possiblity of viruses, trojans etc running in the background would be dangerous…
