Their network has been found to be infested with the W32/Conficker.worm virus.

The ATM's use, yes you guessed it, Microsoft Windows!

You might want to change your password or at least keep an eye on your accounts.

Not the first time they have been hit by this then:

according to this story from 2 years ago. Find it poor form they've been hit again.

Obviously keep an eye on transaction but this type of worm usully cripples networks rather than harvests database data.

And most ATM's run windows, used to be NT4 but I believe they have upgraded to windows 2000!
The trouble is the ATM software is hard to transfer across.
