Researchers patrolling an underground dark web forum have discovered a listing for malware that allows attackers to steal as much as 6,750 dollars, euros or pounds worth of cryptocurrency from Bitcoin ATMs.

The listing, dated June 25, 2018 with a lofty selling price of $25,000, states that the malware works "by exploiting a service vulnerability," without any physical access to the ATM machine required, according to a blog post published today by Trend Micro.

"With the increasing popularity and real-world use of cryptocurrencies and the fact that cybercriminals will always try to exploit something that can make money for them... it shouldn't come as a surprise then that malware targeting Bitcoin ATMs will pop up in underground markets," says the blog post, authored by senior threat researchers Fernando Merces.
