While ATM Jackpotting just recently made its way to the Estados Unidos, the Secret Service made sure it was playing too. The Service got its first two winners on Monday, ALEX ALBERTO FAJIN-DIAZ, 31, a citizen of Spain, and ARGENYS RODRIGUEZ, 21, of Springfield, Massachusetts. I seriously doubt that $9K is going to cover their legal fees however. Put your laptops away, the fun is already over.



On January 27, 2018, Citizens Bank investigators contacted police after they observed what appeared to be an attack on an ATM in Cromwell. On that date, Cromwell Police encountered FAJIN-DIAZ and RODRIGUEZ near an ATM that had been compromised with jackpotting malware and was in the process of dispensing $20 bills. A search of FAJIN-DIAZ and RODRIGUEZ’s vehicle, which had a license plate that was assigned to another vehicle, revealed tools and electronic devices consistent with items needed to compromise an ATM machine to dispense its cash contents. FAJI-DIAZ and RODRIGUEZ also possessed more than $9,000 in $20 bills.
