The fake ATM on DEFCON was clearly set by funny criminals
In this case, the hooligans were either pranksters or perfect losers. In any case, we can only giggle over the fact that someone installed a fake ATM to skim bank cards at the Riviera Hotel Casino in Las Vegas during DEFCON , the world's largest hacker conference.
No one can say for sure how long the ATM desk stood there: at least the guys were tricky enough to install it right next to the security department, in one of the few places at the conference that is not under surveillance. This fact caused suspicions of Brian Markus, CEO of Aries Security. Having shone a glass window behind which there should be a camera, instead of it he found a computer configured for skimming. After that, he notified the security guards, who removed the device and again made the world safe for hackers and their bank accounts.
