Damages due to malware and hacking attacks on ATM networks Europe 2014-2019

This statistic presents the total damages of reported incidents of malware, hacking and "logical" attacks on the automated teller machines in European countries from 2014 to 2019. Malware and hacking incidents are based on ever evolving cybercriminal techniques, designed to rob customers of their savings either through card or PIN skimming methods (lower-level) or without having to compromise their debit cards, designed to attack the ATMs directly (higher-level). In some of the more sophisticated hack attacks, the access to back-end of ATM machines is used, in order to compromise their security.

Reports filed over time showed that the number of malware and "logical" attacks fluctuated between 2014 and 2019. Damages caused by these attacks more than doubled between 2018 and 2019.
