I remember in 2005 when someone changed the contained currency denomination on a bunch of Triton ATMs to $5 and stole thousands of dollars using a prepaid debit card, that the default password he used was 123456. Before anyone gets any big ideas, the industry changed their software after that heist to require vendors to change the password during initial setup.
is this real? did someone actually hack the sign?
Yes, yes

thanks. thats pretty cool.
It’s stupid easy to hack most of them since they don’t usually change the factory default password
What’s the default password?
Depends on the manufacturer, but iirc a lot of them are all 1s
I’ve also heard D O T S being one of them but that could have been somebody trolling.
