Hyosung Urges Operators of All ATMs to Follow Previous Security Guidance Due to Large-Scale Cyberattacks
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hyosung Americas, the leading provider of ATMs, urges all ATM owners to immediately implement critical security updates to protect their machines from evolving cyber threats that have affected multiple ATM networks across the industry.
'Regular security updates and adherence to best practices are not optional in today's environment,' Nancy said. 'They are essential protective measures against increasingly sophisticated criminal activities.'
First identified in September 2024, the attacks target Remote Management Software (RMS) systems and allow unauthorized users to redirect ATM communications, enabling unauthorized control. Hyosung promptly released a security patch, however, some ATMs remain unprotected as owners and other service providers have not yet updated software or are following accepted industry best practices for ATM security. A large-scale cyberattack has been recently reported to the National ATM Council and ATMIA, with concentrated activity in the Northeast and West Coast.
'The security and integrity of the ATM cash ecosystem is our highest priority,' said Nancy Gail Daniels, COO of Hyosung Americas. 'We've been actively communicating with our partners, reinforcing the necessity to implement the steps in security advisories updates and address ATM vulnerabilities since last year. Despite these previous warnings and advisories, the industry is seeing many machines remain unprotected. We strongly urge all ATM operators to implement necessary critical security measures to safeguard their assets.'
Recommended Critical Security Practices Steps:
Update software immediately to the latest version containing essential features.
Change default passwords to strong, unique combinations and do not store these passwords on or within the ATM or ATM management system.
Secure the ATM management software with proper IT and network security, including operation behind a tightly configured firewall.
Enable Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption and/or Message Authentication Codes for additional protection.
Nancy emphasized that cyberattacks on ATMs are a persistent threat across all brands and manufacturers. 'Regular security updates and adherence to best practices are not optional in today's environment,' she said. 'They are essential protective measures against increasingly sophisticated criminal activities.'
ATM owners and partners should access resources from their ATM processor or managed services provider.

SOLVE FSHD and Modalis Announce Strategic Collaboration to Develop an Innovative CRISPR-Based Epigenome Editing Treatment for Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy
VANCOUVER, British Columbia & TOKYO & WALTHAM, Mass., June 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SOLVE FSHD, a venture philanthropy organization dedicated to accelerating treatments for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), and Modalis Therapeutics Corporation (TSE 4883; "Modalis"), a CRISPR-based epigenome editing therapeutics company focused on rare genetic diseases, today announced a strategic collaboration to develop an innovative therapy for FSHD, a debilitating muscular disorder affecting approximately 1 million individuals worldwide. The novel therapy leverages Modalis's proprietary CRISPR-GNDM® (Guide Nucleotide-Directed Modulation) technology, which can dynamically modulate gene expression without introducing double-strand DNA breaks. SOLVE FSHD will provide strategic funding to support the development of Modalis's MDL-103 program. MDL-103 is an innovative therapeutic solution that continuously suppresses the expression of the DUX4 gene, the toxic disease-causing gene for FSHD, which becomes abnormally activated due to epigenetic changes in the D4Z4 repeat region on chromosome 4. MDL-103 is designed to have durable activity over long periods of time under the control of a strong, muscle-specific promoter, and is delivered to the muscles of patients using a muscle-tropic AAV delivery system. Modalis's CRISPR-GNDM® technology has the potential to transform the treatment of FSHD by epigenetically silencing the expression of DUX4. "SOLVE FSHD is pleased to partner with Modalis and to add them to our diverse portfolio of collaborators that are advancing potential therapies for FSHD," stated Eva Chin, Executive Director of SOLVE FSHD. "SOLVE FSHD identified Modalis as a company committed to finding a cure for this debilitating condition. We were impressed by their unique approach to targeting the epigenetic cause of FSHD, using a platform technology that has shown promise in other neuromuscular diseases. We believe that the support from SOLVE FSHD will allow Modalis to accelerate the advancement of MDL-103 into clinical trials." "We are delighted to be working in partnership with SOLVE FSHD and greatly appreciate the invaluable support for the development of MDL-103," said Haru Morita, CEO of Modalis. "This strategic collaboration is a strong validation of Modalis's CRISPR-GNDM® technology and our MDL-103 program. As a pioneer in this technology, we have demonstrated promising long-term drug efficacy in mouse models, shown durable target engagement and safety in non-human primates, and exhibited excellent biodistribution in neuromuscular disorders. We believe that MDL-103, which incorporates CRISPR-GNDM® technology with a muscle tropic AAV delivery system, has significant potential as a breakthrough treatment for FSHD." About SOLVE FSHD SOLVE FSHD is a venture philanthropic organization established to catalyze innovation and accelerate key research in finding a cure for FSHD. Established by renowned Canadian entrepreneur and philanthropist, Chip Wilson, the Wilson family has committed $100 million to kick-start funding into projects that support the organizations' mission to solve FSHD by 2027. The goal of SOLVE FSHD is to find a solution that can slow down or stop muscle degeneration, increase muscle regeneration and strength, and improve the quality of life for those living with FSHD, visit About Modalis Therapeutics Corporation Modalis was founded in 2016 and conducts research and development activities in Massachusetts, USA.

Here's how Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa can earn up to $23 million annually
Here's how Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa can earn up to $23 million annually Show Caption Hide Caption Stellantis: Major brands, global reach, challenges for automaker Explore the history of Stellantis, the automotive giant formed in 2021 through the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group. Stellantis' new CEO Antonio Filosa will earn at least $4 million annually in his first two years at the helm, rising to up to $23 million a year from 2028, including bonuses, a document showed, although his remuneration will be lower than predecessor Carlos Tavares. Filosa officially becomes CEO of the owner of brands such as Chrysler, Peugeot and Jeep at the end of this month, tasked with turning around the carmaker's performance and recovering lost U.S. market share. He will receive an annual base pay of $1.8 million, a company document issued ahead of a July 18 extraordinary general meeting showed, just below the 2 million euros ($2.3 million) granted to his predecessor Tavares. On top of his starting salary, Filosa will pocket annual bonuses worth up to 400% of his base pay, based on the achievement of financial and business plan objectives set out by the company. Note to the next Stellantis CEO: Your first order of business, kill these 4 brands Filosa, formerly Stellantis' North American chief, will also be granted shares as long-term incentives (LTI), based on the company's performance, starting from up to 500% of his salary this year and up to a maximum of 780% from 2027. Until the potential LTIs are paid, in 2028, the company will provide the top manager a cash award of $1.2 million each year. Tavares, who abruptly resigned as CEO last December due to disagreements with the board over strategy, pocketed a final 35 million euro compensation package, despite a dramatic plunge in sales and profit and broken relationships with suppliers, dealers and investors. In 2023, when Stellantis reported record results, Tavares earned a total of 36.5 million euros. Filosa will also benefit from the company's U.S. health care and retirement plans and tax equalization benefits, as well as having access to other fringe benefits such as the personal use of the company's aircraft and vehicles, personal security and annual medical checkups. Filosa's term will be for five years, "to ensure leadership stability and maximize the ability of the company to respond effectively to profound and prolonged industry change," according to the document. Filosa will be appointed an executive board member at the July 18 EGM. Tavares was also appointed CEO for five years but left after just under four years.
