Maxwell Parsons, 41, was the central figure in a gang that's a pretty interesting device used to hack into automated teller machines (ATMs): MP3-player.
Parsons and his gang members would use an MP3 player to capture from the noise, that is to say, in fact, data, which will result from the free-standing automatic teller machines. This is done by the phone line of the machine and in a two-way adapter.The MP3 player was then connected between the ATM and the phone jack to the noise pollution, that is similar to the kind of emitted by faxes. the data was then deciphered in readable numbers by using computer software.
The phone line that runs from the machine to an ordinary BT white socket was unplugged and a two-way adapter inserted. the MP3 player was then placed in between of the ATM machine output cable and the phone jack of the.
The gang was cloning of credit cards with the stolen data, 200,000 pounds worth of purchases, making and £ 14,000 resolved to Parsons.
It is good for more than just music that would have thought a MP3 player.
Parsons was jailed for 32 months after pleading guilty to Minshull Street Crown Court misleading and unlawful interception of a public telecommunications transmission.
