New Security Risks for Windows XP Systems
Microsoft is trying to stop supporting Windows XP. The problem is that a majority of ATMs still use that OS. And once Microsoft stops issuing security updates to XP, those machines will become increasingly vulnerable.
Although I have to ask the question: how many of those ATMs have been keeping up with their patches so far?
We have far to go with our security of embedded systems.

Here is an article from an International Engineering Trade Pub about using UDP for M2M (IoT) because it is faster then TCP/IP:

Sounds like a bad practice to propose.
