News Summary

A hacking group known as UNC2891, also referred to as LightBasin, attempted a sophisticated bank heist by planting a 4G-enabled Raspberry Pi inside a bank’s ATM network. This unprecedented tactic allowed the attackers to bypass the bank’s perimeter defenses, aiming to compromise the ATM switching server and manipulate the bank’s hardware security module. The group has previously been noted for its use of custom malware targeting Linux, Unix, and Oracle Solaris systems, and continues to find advanced methods to infiltrate bank networks without detection.
