Windows OS devices are reaching the end of their life cycle. This means Microsoft will no longer be providing technical support for security threats, bug fixes or address any other potential problems. Without any future updates, specifically security updates, it creates an opportunity for malicious actors.

Thankfully Android OS systems have emerged as the leading replacement for these now out-of-date devices. Devices like Zebra’s MC930B-GSEDG4NA Mobile Handheld Computer don’t just offer upgraded durability and functionality from existing tools, they offer Android’s security from external threats.

The Danger Facing Your Facility with Windows OS

Going without security updates, warehouses that continue to use Windows OS systems will be exposed to an ever-growing list of threats and vulnerabilities. Many of the older Windows OS devices are already unprepared for the security challenges of today. As hackers discover and begin to exploit deficiencies, companies using these systems could face serious production problems. Devices may stop working or you may have your data stolen, either of which would impact your company’s operational performance and bottom line.  Don’t wait until your system is breached!

Android Security Assurance

For years now, Android has deployed a steady stream of security enhancements, such as NSA “Security Enhanced” features, per-users VPN, and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).

Android continues to supply regular security updates and patches more rapidly than any other operating system, including updates to Zebra devices. Android OS devices boast plentiful built-in security features that include data security, app security, and device security.

Secure Your Operations Today

Switching from Windows OS devices to Android can be simple when you partner with Barcodes, Inc. Our team members are experienced experts at migrating operations to the next advancement in technology.

First reported by WOKV.com, agents with the FBI and DHS raided the Florida warehouse of PAX Technology. The point of sale technology giant is linked to reports of possible cyberattacks on U.S. and E.U. organizations where the technology is used.

Along with ongoing global computer chip shortages, the timing of the investigation is particularly concerning for retailers and payment processing companies preparing for the holiday season.

FBI Raids PAX, Where POS Devices Are Potentially Compromised

KrebsOnSecurity offered further detail, saying they “heard from a trusted source that the FBI began investigating PAX after a major U.S. payment processor started asking questions about unusual network packets originating from the company’s payment terminals.”

The source revealed that the PAX terminals were being used both as a central location for malicious files (also known as malware “droppers”). This allows payment technology to act as a staging ground for large-scale cyberattacks focused on collecting information such as consumer credit card data.

“FBI and MI5 are conducting an intensive investigation into PAX,” the source said. “A major US payment processor began asking questions about network packets originating from PAX terminals and were not given any good answers.”

Major financial providers (including FIS Worldpay as reported by Bloomberg) have already begun pulling PAX terminals from their payment infrastructure.

FIS Worldpay confirmed that it no longer deploys PAX point-of-sale devices “because it did not receive satisfactory answers from PAX regarding its POS devices connecting to websites not listed in their supplied documentation.”

“While we have no evidence that data running through PAX POS devices has been compromised, we have been working directly with clients to replace those devices with other options at no cost to them and with as little disruption to their business as possible,” FIS Worldpay states. “The spokesperson said fewer than 5% of Worldpay clients currently use PAX point-of-sale devices.”

While specific details about the strange network activity that prompted federal investigators are unknown, the investigation remains active and ongoing.

It’s worth noting that POS terminals and the technology that supports them are often a primary target for malware and criminal attacks.

It is not uncommon for payment terminals to be compromised remotely by malicious software and made to collect and transmit stolen information. Notable point of sale breaches include Heartland Payment Systems (100 million payment cards affected in 2008) as well as the Target and Home Depot thefts of roughly another 100 million credit cards in 2014.

PAX Technology’s Official Response to Cyberattacks

The Shenzhen-based company is quoted in Reuters with the following statement:

“As far as the board is aware … there has neither been any reported cyberattack incidents nor cyber attack complaints, including any breach of security protocols, against PAX products and services anywhere in the world.”

PAX’s statement to the stock exchange in Hong Kong as well as a press release on the company’s blog provide further perspective. Trading of the company’s shares resumed on November 1 after a temporary halt.

At Barcodes, Inc., cybersecurity is our primary concern when we procure and deploy POS technology. We encourage you to contact us if you have any questions or if you’re interested in replacing your PAX technology.
