Five Venezuelans Plead Guilty in US Court to ATM Jackpotting

FIVE Venezuelan nationals pleaded guilty in a US court for attempting to steal money from ATMs in Kansas by installing malware. The defendants traveled from Indiana for this operation, called 'jackpotting,' which has been increasing in frequency across the US, with over 1,900 incidents reported since 2020. Velasquez-Artigas received a nine-month prison sentence, while the others await sentencing. The FBI warns that such criminal activities are on the rise, causing significant financial losses.
