Oh sorry if it came across as old software not being a security issue just that most places don’t care or plan around it (those ATMs running XP are running a very stripped and locked down version).
I remember quite a few places paying extra for a little bit longer for updates just due to how rough the change was going to be. I think most of the time when something did go wrong at a place it was (in this order):
Social engineering
Some sort of update that was not tested enough (or at all)
A new roll out going bad (this happened way more then it should have)
Hardware failure (often because a sales guy did not know the difference between “redundancy” and “reduced failure rate”
Actual disaster (I remember getting calls about a bank networking device calling home with fan errors as the building it was in was floating down the river)
