“We indeed note that despite the upgrades that have been carried out, this type of device remains in the crosshairs of criminals,” said Christine Vermylen of Argenta. “That is why we decided to shut down the 143 devices of this type now, pending the installation of new devices later this year. We are looking into whether that operation can be accelerated. ”
Argenta regrets that customers are inconvenienced by this measure and emphasizes that safety for the offices and customers always takes precedence. The further investigation is in the hands of the federal police. Perhaps the digital thieves are the work of the same gang. It is unclear whether loot has also been taken. The phenomenon is new in Belgium. Jackpotting had been known in Germany for some time. Cases are also known in the US and Asia.
