Securing Financial Systems: Mitigating Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attacks
June 20, 2024
This article explores the threat landscape of Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks on ATMs and ITMs, shedding light on the methods and goals of attackers. By placing a device between the ATM and the Host, attackers pursue objectives such as interception, eavesdropping, modification, and impersonation. A detailed example of a physical black-box attack involving a Raspberry PI and USB to Ethernet adapters is presented.
The article discusses the diverse means by which MITM attacks can occur, ranging from physical access to lateral movement through a Financial Institution's network facilitated by email phishing. Practical solutions to mitigate risks are provided, encompassing user training, network segmentation, and security measures like concealing cables and employing MAC address filtering.
Additionally, the article highlights cybersecurity solutions offered by CSG, including the RemoteView product with quarterly patches and the Security+ module, along with Smart Camera Analytics for real-time surveillance and rapid response to potential threats. Understanding and implementing these measures are imperative in safeguarding financial systems against evolving cyber threats.
