The post Venezuelan Gets Record Federal Prison Term for ATM Jackpotting appeared first on SecurityWeek.","Juan Manuel Gouveia-Aguilera, a Venezuelan national, has received an 8-year federal prison sentence for his involvement in an ATM jackpotting scheme that caused over $3.5 million in losses. This sentence is reportedly the longest federal term for an individual in such a crime. The scheme involved physically accessing ATMs to install malware that instructed them to dispense all cash, and the suspects are believed to be linked to the Tren de Aragua organization.","Venezuelan national sentenced to 8 years for ATM jackpotting scheme.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.securityweek.com\u002Fvenezuelan-gets-record-federal-prison-term-for-atm-jackpotting\u002F","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.securityweek.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F01\u002FATM-hacking.jpg","2026-08-24T10:59:30+00:00","2026-08-24T12:00:09.5658+00:00",7,[17],{"name":18,"type":19},"Tren de Aragua","threat_actor","2e06f76c-d5b9-4f54-9eef-4d3447b10730",{"id":20,"icon":22,"name":23,"slug":24},null,"Breaches","breaches",[26,28,33,38],{"category":27},{"id":20,"icon":22,"name":23,"slug":24},{"category":29},{"id":30,"icon":22,"name":31,"slug":32},"6cbdd207-aaa1-4176-9534-e156b125e917","Nation-state","nation-state",{"category":34},{"id":35,"icon":22,"name":36,"slug":37},"89f78b1c-3503-45a1-9fc7-e23d2ce1c6d5","Malware","malware",{"category":39},{"id":40,"icon":22,"name":41,"slug":42},"e7b231c8-5f79-4465-8d38-1ef13aea5a14","Threat Intelligence","threat-intelligence",[],[],{"controls":46,"vendors":47},[],[],{"slug":49,"title":50,"body":51,"framework_refs":52,"framework_notes":65},"atm-jackpotting-scheme-nets-record-8-year-sentence","ATM Jackpotting Scheme Nets Record 8-Year Sentence","This case highlights the dangers of inadequate physical and logical security controls on ATM infrastructure. Attackers gained direct physical access to ATMs and installed malware that overrode normal cash-dispensing logic, resulting in over $3.5 million in losses. Financial institutions often treat ATMs as isolated hardware rather than networked endpoints requiring active security management, leaving them vulnerable to both physical tampering and software-based attacks. The record prison sentence underscores the severity of jackpotting crimes, but prevention must focus on hardening ATMs before attackers reach them. Organizations must treat every ATM as a critical, managed endpoint with layered defenses.",[53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64],"CIS Control 4 – Secure Configuration of Enterprise Assets","CIS Control 6 – Access Control Management","CIS Control 10 – Malware Defenses","CIS Control 13 – Network Monitoring and Defense","NIST SP 800-53 AC-3 – Access Enforcement","NIST SP 800-53 SI-3 – Malicious Code Protection","NIST SP 800-53 PE-3 – Physical Access Control","NIST SP 800-53 AU-6 – Audit Record Review and Analysis","PCI DSS Requirement 9.4 – Protect Point-of-Interaction Devices","PCI DSS Requirement 11.3 – Penetration Testing","NIST Cybersecurity Framework PR.AC-2 – Physical Access Management","NIST Cybersecurity Framework DE.CM-1 – Network Monitoring",{}]
