do you guys think its real/scam?

every single time when you see someone is "selling" something that can hack money for you easily then you have to be 100% sure  than it is a fake because of a simple reason: if it was that easy then they wouldn't be selling it to you to create competition for themselves and make their "method" or "tool" known so it could be patched. no, if it were real they would have kept it private and used it themselves instead without letting anybody know.

Whether or not they are out there, it's best not to get involved with those type. Even if it's easy money or promising to give you a high return, don't get in quickly. DYOR and be sure what you are going to and risking. Nothing will ever come out right with a scam.

very very old news and it has been around forever
https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-atms-targeted-by-malware-for-sale-in-underground-markets/
for example ^^
if regular ATM have been targeted since ages, why bitcoin ATM can be any different ?
the thing is that there are reports of the said malware offered for sale
for 25.000$ , but no reports of mass ATM security breaches , so as much as it is easy to buy and use this malware it is not profitable to do so

[mrdeposit]

You have to think, if they can cash out 6k a day in btc why would they sell it to anyone ?

Isn't it more profitble for them to keep taking that 6k a day that would be 180k a month ? Almost anything that is in darkweb for selling is nowadays scam anyway...

Maybe they look for partners. Because if he has the power to do so, why should not he distract attention? It is easy to do, and you are wanted by the police because of what you did, and with selling tactic you can make money and also direct the cops.

That's for sure, it's nothing more than an ordinary theft. I bet there are easier and cheaper ways for becoming a criminal.
But let's think logically for a moment, why would any one be selling a method that can bring millions and risk for it to be discovered and patched up? Doesn't make any sense, such skim would be kept a secret for as long as possible, in order to bring hassle free profits.
Fact that it's being sold somewhere, means its probably already patched off the atm's or it never worked in the first place, what is in fact the most probable scenario. Desperate search for ways to rob people, will end up with the seeker being scammed... 

[imstillthebest]

Thats true because regular atms can also be like that  . that is not called a malware but that is called a skimming  . criminal or skimmers put a gadget under the entrance of card and they can stole the card owners info such as pin codes , credit card numbers , etc ...

These gadget will not work in a newer version of atm . recently old atm's have been pulled out due to this issue . but it can be working for btc powered atm since they are still kinda new .

I watched a documentary on youtube made by vice and I think this is related to it.

The guy gets money everyday through withdrawals and he uses his friends for it but I can't say if these are actual real since coverage can be on hype for the sake of views.

Why its on a dark net first of all?
You have to doubt on this one and don’t trust easily, don’t also try to participate or else you will loose yourself in jail. This is just like a card hacking/skimming, its illegal and it should be reported. Hope, it cannot affect bitcoin atm machine in the future.

I don't believe that is happening now, for me a Bitcoin system is very safe and reliable. Access for a hacker to be able to steal is to know the ID and private key wallet. That is a natural thing, so if there is a hacker who can enter the Bitcoin system then that is not true. Maybe hackers record someone's transaction activity, but there's no way they can access without passing a system that has a good level of security.

Yeah, it is 100% scam and what in the world would they sell that kind of thing if it can actually hack money from it? Sometimes people don't use their mind really well and believe in ridiculous kinds of scams that spread on the internet and they easily believe even if its obvious scam.

if it were real they would have kept it private and used it themselves instead without letting anybody know.

That's correct, no one will ever leak those kinds of methods if it's real and they will use it for themselves to get the most benefit from it.

I think think is real and those kind of malware programs exist but I'm sure they are very rare and you will probably only find them on the black market where scammers deal with other scammers and not on the internet where everyone can buy one. Because bitcoin ATM are new right now I think it's a little easier to be hacked because the technology is not so advanced yet.

[bitfocus]

It's kinda old news but thanks for bringing up as this forum gets a lot of newbies as member almost everyday, it will help them to stay aware from BTC atm scams.

[BitcoinHodler]

there is always backdoors and bugs in any computer that can be exploited at some point when they are found but then again they will be patched after they were found and it will be over, that is like the inevitable part of running a business like this.

but as others said anybody who claims to be selling it to others is just lying and wants to take your money!

I think what you are saying is not that true as it seems and that's because there are people who create this programs and people who use this programs. If someone created such a malware software this doesn't mean he had to use it, because he exposes himself at a very high risk of getting caught and face prison. So why would he do that when he can simply sell his program to other people and still make a lot of money while the risk of getting caught and arrested for doing that is a lot smaller.

Though there have been series of malware sales in the dark web which has not be true to what they intend to do as per their advertisement. Some years ago a friend of mine bought some promo from them but end up been scammed, so, never believe them for what they profess, trend carefully because there is risk involves.

It was published in 5 months ago so it is not a big impact of current market. many peoples are just read the old news and post it here, my suggestion is do not post the old articles link because some peoples are confused in suddenly and they panic in upcoming market. we are all moving uptrend in recently so many positive news only possible on future and Bitcoin legalization also possible in entire world.

[kryptqnick]

These ATMs have rather high fees and are not available in most of locations anyway, so I'd just avoid using them altogether. It's much more confortable to find a trusted exchange for these things, even though the idea of cashing out in ATM seems attractive. I hope the malware will be destroyed, though, because it's unfair to make people lose their money. I hope you are truly not serious about buying the malware. And besides, since it's just news about something like this being on the market, it does not even mean that there is such a thing. It can be scammers scamming other scammers by selling them nothing for $25k, you know.

I do hope that you check the date of this article because this is a old news already. Here is one discussion thread in the Press section:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5023801.0

And I'm sure you will find similar threads in the past as well.

[Indamuck]

I agree that the seller is a scammer, if this really worked as well as the are suggesting they could just use it themselves instead of exposing their secret to others.  If it sounds too good to be true it is almost always a scam and you will lose your money.
