A new ATM malware strain dubbed FiXS has been observed targeting Mexican banks since the start of February 2023.

"The ATM malware is hidden inside another not-malicious-looking program," Latin American cybersecurity firm Metabase Q said in a report shared with The Hacker News.

Besides requiring interaction via an external keyboard, the Windows-based ATM malware is also vendor-agnostic and is capable of infecting any teller machine that supports CEN/XFS (short for eXtensions for Financial Services).

The exact mode of compromise remains unknown but Metabase Q's Dan Regalado told The Hacker News that it's likely that "attackers found a way to interact with the ATM via touchscreen."
