===Jackpotting=== The term {{em|jackpotting}} is used to describe one method criminals utilize to steal money from an ATM. The thieves gain physical access through a small hole drilled in the machine. They disconnect the existing hard drive and connect an external drive using an industrial endoscope. They then depress an internal button that reboots the device so that it is now under the control of the external drive. They can then have the ATM dispense all of its cash.<ref>{{cite news |title=ATM makers warn of 'jackpotting' hacks on U.S. machines |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cyber-atms-usa/atm-makers-warn-of-jackpotting-hacks-on-u-s-machines-idUSKBN1FG0WU |newspaper=[[Reuters]] |date=27 January 2018 |access-date=2018-01-28 }}</ref>
