ATM Fork

What Is an ATM Fork?
An ATM fork is a metal tool designed to exploit vulnerabilities in ATM machines. Its primary purpose is to manipulate the cash dispensing mechanism of an ATM, allowing to extract money. The tool resembles a fork, made of steel, giving it the strength needed to force open or disable the ATM’s cash compartment.

How Is an ATM Fork Used?
Targeting Vulnerable ATMs: Made for ATMs that may be more susceptible to tampering, such as those in poorly monitored or remote locations. These machines may have outdated security features, making them easier targets.

Manipulating the Cash Dispenser: The ATM fork is inserted into the cash dispenser area, allowing to disrupt the normal operation of the machine. This can involve jamming the dispensing mechanism or forcing open a cash drawer to access the cash inside.

Timing and Disguise: You can typically work quickly and discreetly, often during off-peak hours when fewer people are around. They may wear disguises or use other means to avoid detection while they manipulate the ATM.

Escaping with Cash: Once the cash is accessible, you can quickly take the money and leave ATM before anyone notices the tampering.
