All of the ATM's I know about are on a separate network from the Internet. 
Think about it. ATM's have been around a lot longer than the Internet. And 
why would anyone in their right mind hool ATM's up to the Internet. Remember: 
Banking is tightly regulated. And in spite of the popular perception that 
government can't do anything right, the ATM network, in my experience, is 
very secure and works very well.
