You would expect banks to be careful because they deal with money.
Apparently it is not true.
And also some of them had USB ports and CD ROM enabled
From the article:
Jacco Van Tuijl, who conducts penetration testing (sanctioned hacking into systems to determine their vulnerability to attacks) for banks in the Netherlands, pointed out that many ATMs still use the now-obsolete, 13-year-old Windows XP operating system
"The ATM is basically a computer. We have conducted penetration tests and were able to access USB ports inside of ATMs by cutting through the metal.
Police said the suspects hacked the machines by inserting a disc into the ATMs' CD-ROMs that would then infect the machines with a virus or malware.
