    Oh sorry if it came across as old software not being a security issue just that most places don’t care or plan around it (those ATMs running XP are running a very stripped and locked down version).

    I remember quite a few places paying extra for a little bit longer for updates just due to how rough the change was going to be. I think most of the time when something did go wrong at a place it was (in this order):

    • Social engineering
    • Some sort of update that was not tested enough (or at all)
    • A new roll out going bad (this happened way more then it should have)
    • Hardware failure (often because a sales guy did not know the difference between “redundancy” and “reduced failure rate”
    • Actual disaster (I remember getting calls about a bank networking device calling home with fan errors as the building it was in was floating down the river)
