Inside The Great ATM Heist

About the show:

In July 2016, Taiwan was blindsided by a crime never seen before. First Bank’s ATMs across the island began “jackpotting” — spitting out millions in cash with no ATM cards or PINs required.

This was Taiwan’s first remote bank ATM hacking spree, later tied to the infamous Cobalt cybercrime syndicate that had already swept through Europe.

Inside the Great ATM Heist unpacks how Taiwanese police mounted a relentless investigation that crossed borders, police units and time zones. Through eyewitness accounts, CCTV surveillance, and cyber forensics, this two-part documentary series reveals how Taiwanese investigators cracked the code of a cyber-crime wave and brought down an international syndicate.
