Avanti Markets Hacked: Credit Card Numbers, Biometric Data Stolen From Vending Machines – By AJ Dillenger / July 10 2017
United States-based payment kiosk vendor Avanti Markets has experienced a database breach that compromised a considerable amount of personal information from users including biometric data.
Avanti Markets—which provides self-service snack machines for organizations and reportedly serves more than 1.6 million customers—was hit by a malware attack that resulted in significant pieces of customer data being stolen.
Customer data stolen in the database breach includes full names, email addresses, credit card information, and fingerprints that were stored to allow customers to make quicker, single-touch payments.
The attack was first discovered by Avanti Markets on July 4. There is no indication just how long the malware was present on machines or how many users were affected by the data breach. The company has yet to identify the root cause of the attack.
The malicious software that apparently hit Avanti Markets kiosks appears to have been a strand of malware known as PoSeidon or FindPOS, an attack designed specifically to target point-of-sales systems and steal payment information from customers.
