The Progression of Jackpotting

In-depth analysis of ATM jackpotting attacks and evolving cybersecurity threat landscapes.

Studied the evolution of ATM jackpotting from early physical tampering to modern malware-based attacks (Ploutus, Cutlet Maker). Mapped the attack lifecycle, examined vendor response gaps, and proposed layered mitigations spanning firmware integrity, network segmentation, and physical hardening for banks operating shared ATM fleets.
