Busted ATM shows Windows 7 login page on screen — asks for username and password instead of PIN to dispense cash

An ATM in Manchester, England, displayed a Windows 7 login screen asking for a username and password instead of a PIN to dispense cash. Despite Windows 7 being outdated and unsupported since 2020, some businesses, like this bank, still use it for critical systems like ATMs. The appearance of the Windows login screen was likely due to a software update or crash, requiring the bank's administrator to log in before customers can withdraw money. This incident highlights the risks of using outdated operating systems in critical infrastructure like ATMs.
