Abstract

“ This would explain why the GamaPoS gang has taken a different approach. Instead of directly targeting PoS systems from the Internet they’re going after them from inside the trusted internal networks of companies.

Their attacks start with spam, according to the Trend Micro researchers. They send rogue emails purporting to include PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance documents or updates for back office customer service systems from the Oracle Micros PoS suite.
