He already has the key to the ATM so why doesn't he just reach in and grab the money?

The fact that those 2 companies have issued the patch and not Microsoft, proves that the bug has been in the ATM application and not the windows CE.

This PR from 2007 sheds some light on it...

"Triton describes the RL2000 as a compact, affordable, off-premise ATM with more functionality than most low-cost machines. Additionally, the device is said to be the company's most flexible ATM to date.

The RL2000's configuration, which includes an embedded PC-based platform, Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 operating system, and Triton's proprietary "X2 technology," makes the device both reliable and convenient, the company said.

Available with a "level 1 vault option" (700 lbs. "24-hour safes"), and coming with optional backlit, mid- or high-topper graphic signs for improved visibility and increased transaction volume, the RL2000 is expandable to meet future compliance and application needs, according to the company. In addition, the RL2000 has a large storage capacity for transaction journaling and comes with an optional 8-inch VGA color display for advertising and screen-customizing capabilities.

Triton, one of the largest ATM manufacturers in the world, claims to have been the first to bring Windows CE to the ATM market.

The RL2000 is expected to reach market in 2007. Pricing was not disclosed."]]>Jul 29th 2010 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/some-windows-ce-based-atms-especially-generous-and-vulnerable-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/some-windows-ce-based-atms-especially-generous-and-vulnerable-t/

Sir, you have not idea.

The problem is that Windows CE have active the function of autorun by default.

Disabling the autorun feature is enough to keep the system safe. So, it is responsibility of the manufacturer to do a proper configuration.
