In a backdrop where concerns on the technical flaws of Sampath Bank ATMs are being raised even in social media, it is regrettable that the bank is not giving ample attention to the matter, the statement adds.
The ITSSL points out that the technical flaw makes it possible to steal data of any credit or debit card inserted to a Sampath Bank ATM and that it is also possible to add 'malicious commands' to the machine.
They add that the machines are still running on the outdated OS version - WIndows 7.
Since the company is not taking measures to rectify the flaw, the ITSSL urges Sampath Bank account holders to be more cautious when using the bank's ATM machines.
