The financial services and retail industries remain at the forefront of persistent and emerging security risks. Over the past year, Diebold Nixdorf’s collective vigilance and commitment to maturity in threat intelligence and security operations have been paramount to safeguarding the integrity of our products and solutions. Our annual reporting revealed a marked increase in attack activities using legacy and innovative tactics.
- One recurring theme is the exploitation of basic, less complex attack vectors.
- Furthermore, our analysis highlights a shift in threat actor behavior, with ransomware, social engineering and relay attacks gaining traction as organizations strengthen protections against traditional offline attacks.
- The rise in malware-based jackpotting attacks in 2024 was unprecedented, and although the frequency in 2025 has moderated, it remains higher than in years past.
This report also underscores the importance of collaborative efforts and integration within the security community. By working closely with partners, vendors, law enforcement and industry organizations, such as the ATM Industry Association, the European Association for Secure Transactions, the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, and the International Association of Financial Crimes Investigators, we can enhance our collective resilience and accelerate the adoption of proven countermeasures.
