ATM Hacking: Past and Present
08-17, 13:00–13:50 (US/Eastern), Tobin

This talk explores the evolution of ATM hacking, from classic physical attacks to modern software exploits, using two real-world case studies. Roman will demonstrate how cybercriminals bypass security measures and why banks often stay silent. Attendees will see a live demo of a custom “flusher device” built for a tabletop coin dispenser (reverse-engineered from eBay), highlighting vulnerabilities in cash-handling systems.

Roman Pushkin is a security researcher and staff software engineer at a payment startup by day, hacking hardware and dissecting financial systems by night.. With 20 plus years in hacking and infosec, he’s authored a book titled Ruby Is for Fun book and contributed to 2600: The Hacker Quarterly.
