Hello, I am a New York Lotto machine. If you play with me, you can become very wealthy with little or no effort! Look how cute I am, how can you say no?
I have a cute little backside. Innocent and unassuming. You can trust me.
Take a closer look, see? I know you want to play.
Look at my cute little hat! Everything about me says you can trust me, and love me in ways only rapists and pedophiles will know.
People put way too much trust into the technology that runs behind the eyes of their world. You do not realize that machines like this exist all day, every day, everywhere. Thy are here to make out lives more convenient, easier, or a little happier.
There are way to use both wired and wireless ways to access devices like this and exploit them. This is not some movie hype bullshit. This isnt The Matrix. The bottom line however is, that giving direct physical access to a communication port allows attacks to happen. The port on the back is a Network Port. The make and model printed above it is often times enough for a clever person to start digging up technical information as to the operational ability and tasks this machine was designed for, and also pathways into finding exploits and flaws in which this machine can be turned from a tool into a weapon. The wireless antenna on the top shows that the person doesnt even need to be inside the store and plugged in (possibly) in order to bend this machine over their knee and stick some well lubed code up its ass.
Think about all the tech in your life and how much you blindly confide in its ability to keep the things you say to it a secret. If you lost your cell phone, and someone found it, how much would they be able to know about you? Name? Phone number? Friends names? Where you live? Where you work? Where you play? Personal messages from lovers, friends and family? Your E-mail.... with all your personal accounts and passwords?
The world is not what it seems.
