Why its on a dark net first of all?
You have to doubt on this one and don’t trust easily, don’t also try to participate or else you will loose yourself in jail. This is just like a card hacking/skimming, its illegal and it should be reported. Hope, it cannot affect bitcoin atm machine in the future.

I watched a documentary on youtube made by vice and I think this is related to it.

The guy gets money everyday through withdrawals and he uses his friends for it but I can't say if these are actual real since coverage can be on hype for the sake of views.

Thats true because regular atms can also be like that . that is not called a malware but that is called a skimming . criminal or skimmers put a gadget under the entrance of card and they can stole the card owners info such as pin codes , credit card numbers , etc ...

These gadget will not work in a newer version of atm . recently old atm's have been pulled out due to this issue . but it can be working for btc powered atm since they are still kinda new .

Whether or not they are out there, it's best not to get involved with those type. Even if it's easy money or promising to give you a high return, don't get in quickly. DYOR and be sure what you are going to and risking. Nothing will ever come out right with a scam.

That's for sure, it's nothing more than an ordinary theft. I bet there are easier and cheaper ways for becoming a criminal.
But let's think logically for a moment, why would any one be selling a method that can bring millions and risk for it to be discovered and patched up? Doesn't make any sense, such skim would be kept a secret for as long as possible, in order to bring hassle free profits.
Fact that it's being sold somewhere, means its probably already patched off the atm's or it never worked in the first place, what is in fact the most probable scenario. Desperate search for ways to rob people, will end up with the seeker being scammed...

You have to think, if they can cash out 6k a day in btc why would they sell it to anyone ?

Isn't it more profitble for them to keep taking that 6k a day that would be 180k a month ? Almost anything that is in darkweb for selling is nowadays scam anyway...

Maybe they look for partners. Because if he has the power to do so, why should not he distract attention? It is easy to do, and you are wanted by the police because of what you did, and with selling tactic you can make money and also direct the cops. Wink

very very old news and it has been around forever
https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-atms-targeted-by-malware-for-sale-in-underground-markets/
for example ^^
if regular ATM have been targeted since ages, why bitcoin ATM can be any different ?
the thing is that there are reports of the said malware offered for sale
for 25.000$ , but no reports of mass ATM security breaches , so as much as it is easy to buy and use this malware it is not profitable to do so

do you guys think its real/scam?

every single time when you see someone is "selling" something that can hack money for you easily then you have to be 100% sure than it is a fake because of a simple reason: if it was that easy then they wouldn't be selling it to you to create competition for themselves and make their "method" or "tool" known so it could be patched. no, if it were real they would have kept it private and used it themselves instead without letting anybody know.
