ATM PROTECTION / FASCIA ALARM
ATM Fascia Attacks – A Growing Threat Across Europe
ATM fascia attacks are on the rise across Europe, with a sharp increase expected to accelerate further in 2023. This bold criminal tactic involves gaining access to the ATM by cutting holes into the fascia, allowing the perpetrators to disconnect the Cash Dispenser and connect a ‘Black Box.’ This electronic device sends unauthorized commands directly to the ATM, forcing it to dispense cash without needing a card or authentication.
What makes this threat especially alarming is the precision with which criminals can empty an ATM without leaving any trace behind. As this type of attack grows in frequency, it’s becoming a major concern for banks and ATM owners alike, shaking the very foundation of ATM security.
In response, Loktec is committed to providing innovative solutions that can safeguard ATMs from this evolving risk.
