Robber Hacks ATM Machine

Last week in Virginia Beach, a hacker reprogrammed an ATM machine at a gas station to dispense $20 bills instead of $5 bills. It took approximately nine days before anyone reported the error. Video after the jump.
He used a debit card along with knowledge he reportedly found through a Google search. The cracker found master passwords to the Tranax Mini-Bank ATM -- and instructions -- in a PDF version of a 102-page manual posted on the Web site of a Tranax reseller

Don't most atm only dispense at 20 dollar rates. I really have to say I have never seen a atm that gives out in 5 dollar increments. So i find this hard to believe.

well up where I live they have $10 ATMS. BTW it doesn't say it outputs $5 dollars, but thinks it is. Maybe this could mean you can only take out 20 dollars at a time but the atm thinks hey I give him 4 20 dollar bills. He probably changed the number 20 to 5. I dunno maybe your right.

Here in the midwest most of the ATM machines dispense 5' and 20's. Makes it easiest to make any round amount.

The "Machine" you keep using after ATM is redundant since ATM stands for Automatic Teller Machine. You'd think someone at a site called "Techblog" would know this.

Editor: the pseudo-tautological use of acronyms plus a word from that acronym is perfectly acceptable in many cases where it helps with clarity. E.g. "PIN number" ('pin' by itself might be misunderstood). Would any educated person object to someone referring to a "RAID array" or "ISBN number" or "AC Current"? Nope. You'd think that someone called "Editor" would know this.
