As of July 25th, a security flaw was uncovered in regards to the operation of ATM's in-world, with all of the exchanges as well as a few other ATM operators working to address these issues.View details here: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-2693
Cocky Dagger of ISE took down all of his ATM's and is getting set up to handle all transactions directly using a new avatar. So anyone desiring to make any type of deposit or withdraw with ISE needs to contact him directly. Meanwhile IntLibber Brautigan of ACE is working with their IT VP Hamncheese Omlet to deal with these issues by setting up server side systems to double check the validity of all ATM transactions. Apez and SLX's ATM's apparently already have these checking systems in place and thus should be safe. VSTEX has posted in their forums that they have implemented increased security measures but have not revealed what those are and have not reactivated their ATM's yet.
No word has been heard as of yet regarding how SLCAPEX is handling this situation (or at least not that I've seen). However when trying to visit the SLCAPEX ATM at their headquarters, it appears that they are no longer there, as a club now sits at their landmark for the SL Capital Exchange??? If anyone knows what happened to SLCAPEX, please let me know so that we can make such information publicly available.
