Bitcoin ATM Maker Shuts Cloud Service After User Hot Wallets Compromised

Bitcoin ATM manufacturer General Bytes has shuttered its cloud services after discovering a “security vulnerability” that allowed an attacker to access users' hot wallets and gain sensitive information, such as passwords and private keys. The company is a Bitcoin ATM manufacturer based in Prague, and according to its website, it has sold over 15,000 ATMs to over 149 countries worldwide. In a March 18 patch release bulletin, the ATM manufacturer issued a warning explaining that a hacker has been able to remotely upload and run a Java application via the master service interface into its terminals aimed at stealing user information and sending funds from hot wallets.
