The number "7" blocks Belgian ATM machines
In RISKS Digest 24.07,Lindsay Marshall writes that:
The Dexia Bank ATM machines are experiencing a curious problem. The machines stop functioning when someone enters the number 7, making it impossible for people with a 7 in their pin (personal identification number) code to perform a cash withdrawal.
The problem has been occurring for a month. To prevent people from running out of cash, they are able to perform cash withdrawals inside. "We are experiencing a problem with the software", a Dexia spokesman admitted last wednesday in the daily journal Het Laatste Nieuws, "the problems should be solved within three weeks."
