Russian ATM runs on unactivated copy of Windows

Filed under:

Granted, we’d be a tad more surprised about this if it wasn’t found in Russia, but this one defies logic regardless. While we’re unsure if tricksters have figured out a way to siphon unthinkable quantities of cash from this particular ATM, the owners should be ashamed of themselves for running a (presumably pirated) unactivated copy of Windows on the public banking machine. Of course, there’s quite a few workarounds for this problem if you take the time to look, but seriously, who skimps on a product activation code when running a multi-million (billion?) dollar banking operating?
