The entire premise of this article is simply wrong.<p>ATMs run Windows XP <i>Embedded</i>, which will continue to be supported at least through 2016 (if it isn&#x27;t extended again.)

Story: &quot;End of Windows XP support puts 95% of world&#x27;s ATMs at risk&quot;<p>Not a story: &quot;Tons of crazy people who have the means to do otherwise are deploying machines that handle money with a 10 year old operating system&quot;

If you&#x27;re doing stuff The Right Way, you don&#x27;t wire them up to the public internet, but instead put a VPN router&#x2F;gateway between ATM and internet uplink to keep out fucktards messing with the internet uplink.<p>This way, you could run Win98 SE on the ATMs and need not worry about hackers (if your networks are properly firewalled, at least!).

Do ATMs get the updates anyway? If I had a computer that does one job, and connects to one network with one modem, I don&#x27;t think I would put it on the internet just to get windows updates.<p>Does anyone know how this works, or if they actually get the security updates now?

If win8 can run programs in compatibility mode for winXP what is possibly being run on these ATMs that can&#x27;t be run on an updated OS? Also I don&#x27;t think the fact that winXP has &quot;support&quot; makes the ATMs more or less likely to be at risk.<p>Also can people stop posting links to articles that immediately have popups that try and sell you some stuff and doesn&#x27;t even let you view the article without signing up for some nonsense?

I have problems with the 95% figure. Currently I work for the biggest player in the ATM game and every ATM I have seen in our lab has been running windows 7. I am not saying we arent running a crap ton of legacy ATMs but I would say many of our ATMs are running Windows 7 especially if they are for a new customer.<p>We have ~25% of the ATM market so I think 95% is very skewed, the other players should at least have some ATMs off XP.

Those ATM&#x27;s will be no more at risk in a few months than they are today, or have been in the past...<p>Just because the updates stop, doesn&#x27;t mean the OS is going to start crumbling.

EMC SANs used to run XP Embedded.<p>Maybe a microserf would know better, but doesnt XP Embedded have Win CE and XP lineages?

even with supported XP, the ATM will still have problem<p>for example, my ATM machine downstairs can crash twice a day, and each crash can take hours to resolve; usually the technician never come on time or he&#x2F;she never even bother to come

No, bad planning puts them at risk.
