ATM Fascia Tamper Attacks – Loktec’s Rapid Response

When reports of ATM fascia tamper attacks first emerged—many connected to so-called Black Box activity—Loktec acted immediately to address the threat. Recognising the serious risks posed to banks and ATM operators, our research and development team worked closely with clients to design an effective countermeasure. The result is the FTD, a purpose-built solution created to prevent criminals from interfering with ATM fascias and exploiting internal components.

​

The FTD provides a robust layer of protection, making it significantly harder for attackers to gain access or manipulate ATM systems. By combining practical design with advanced engineering, it delivers reliable security in the face of increasingly sophisticated criminal methods.

​

Loktec has built its reputation on innovation and responsiveness, and the FTD reflects that commitment. As ATM threats evolve, we continue to invest in solutions that keep financial institutions protected and ensure the integrity of cash access worldwide.

ATM PROTECTION / FASCIA ALARM

ATM Fascia Attacks – A Growing Threat Across Europe

Across Europe, ATM fascia attacks are increasing at an alarming rate, with a sharp surge anticipated to accelerate further throughout 2023 and beyond. This highly targeted criminal method involves cutting precise openings into the ATM fascia, giving perpetrators direct access to internal components. Once inside, attackers disconnect the cash dispenser and connect a device commonly known as a Black Box. By sending unauthorised electronic commands, this device forces the ATM to release cash without requiring a card, PIN, or any legitimate form of authentication.

​

What makes fascia attacks particularly dangerous is their sophistication and stealth. Skilled criminals can empty an entire ATM quickly and efficiently, often leaving little or no trace of tampering. This silent efficiency has elevated the threat level for banks, independent deployers, and ATM operators, creating serious concerns over both financial loss and customer confidence.

​

As these attacks grow in both scale and frequency, traditional security measures are proving inadequate. That’s why Loktec is committed to developing advanced, practical, and field-tested solutions to counter this evolving risk. By staying ahead of emerging attack methods, Loktec continues to provide the industry with robust protection strategies that help secure ATMs, safeguard assets, and reinforce trust in cash access worldwide.

Loktec Fascia Tamper System: Advanced Protection Against ATM Attacks

Loktec’s advanced ATM protection solution combines the Fascia Defence Controller with specially engineered Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), incorporating a precision-balanced bridge circuit for maximum reliability. Both sides of each PCB are overlaid with a unique mesh pattern, creating a resilient shield designed to block attempts at Black Box attacks.

​

If tampering is detected—whether through drilling, cutting, or fracturing—the system responds instantly by triggering alarm mode. This immediate reaction activates built-in countermeasures, stopping the intrusion before critical components can be accessed or compromised.

​

Purpose-built for fascia protection, the technology safeguards the most vulnerable parts of the ATM, preventing unauthorised entry to internal systems. By combining intelligent electronic design with proven durability, it not only protects machines but also provides financial institutions with greater confidence in their ATM networks.

​

This solution delivers unmatched resilience, ensuring cash access remains secure against evolving threats.
