Software solution provider, SoftWorks Limited has deployed the revolutionary automated self monitoring Automated Teller Machines in the country’s financial market with the latest version of Wincor Nixdorf’s Pro-View software solution which enhanced service management functions.
Pro-View software solution provides self monitoring capability of an ATM’s status to a central unit and controls the initiation, execution and documentation of the service processes required.
According to Ini Akpan, managing director, Softworks, this new innovation in the machine life of the self-service systems (ATM’s) increases its control function and forms part of an automated SMS and E-mail process thus making it possible for it to fulfil its service level agreements (SLAs). He also stated that the Pro-View software solution enhances the availability of customer systems and ensures a rapid return to full operation whenever faults are detected.
Obende Bamidele, head of e-Payments Solutions, SoftWorks, stated the benefit of the new version, as a multi-stage escalation process that helps guarantee the correct fulfilment of SLAs. As soon as a fault report is received by Pro-View software solution, the system generates an e-mail and SMS, which is immediately passed to service personnel. If the recipient fails to respond, within a designated time frame, the ticket is automatically forwarded to the next level. If the fault is not rectified within the maximum downtime stipulated by the client, the SMS/E-mail can then be given priority status.
SoftWorks has implemented this new innovation in some of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, and it’s already in operation in a number of Nigerian banks. Statements from those financial house’s said that they implemented this innovation and upgrade of their ATM’s to deliver error free service to its esteemed client’s as it prides it’s self with the latest technology in service delivery.
Pro-View supports the entire process, from the initial fault warning and the process of issuing of a service’s E-mails/SMSs containing full details of the nature of the fault, through the preparation of appropriate reports.
ProView is a PC-based application that has been specifically developed by Wincor Nixdorf to meet the requirements of a range of self-service systems with a view to ensuring their maximum availability – from ATMs and transaction and information terminals to kiosk systems. This solution also allows the integration of other manufacturers’ systems. It can be implemented as part of a decentralized structure at branch or individual bank level, or as part of a centralized computer network or in an external systems management center. ProView is currently used to control around 55,000 terminals (ATMs, statement printers, stamp machines and travel ticket terminals) worldwide.
SoftWorks Limited is a subsidiary of Telnet Nigeria Limited, a leading technology-enabled business solutions provider in Nigeria. The company’s main objective is to assist her clients gain and sustain competitive advantage through the provision of innovative software based solutions.

Chinese “threat actors” have hacked Microsoft’s SharePoint document software servers and targeted the data of the businesses using it, the firm has said.

Microsoft Servers Hacked by Chinese Groups

 

China state-backed Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon as well as China-based Storm-2603 were said to have “exploited vulnerabilities” in on-premises SharePoint servers, the kind used by firms, but not in its cloud-based service.

The US tech giant has released security updates in response and has advised all on-premises SharePoint server customers to install them.

“Investigations into other actors also using these exploits are still ongoing,” Microsoft said in a statement.

The firm said it had “high confidence” the hackers would continue to target systems which have not installed its security updates.

It added that it would update its website blog with more information as its investigation continues.

Microsoft said it had observed attacks in which hackers had sent a request to a SharePoint server “enabling the theft of the key material by threat actors”.

Charles Carmakal, chief technology officer at Mandiant Consulting firm, a division of Google Cloud, told reporter, it was “aware of several victims in several different sectors across a number of global geographies”.

Carmakal said it appeared that governments and businesses that use SharePoint on their sites were the primary target.

A number of adversaries who stole material encoded by cryptography were then able to regain ongoing access to the victims’ SharePoint data, he said.

“This was exploited in a very broad way, very opportunistically before a patch was made available. That’s why this is significant,” Carmakal said.

Carmakal said the “China-nexus actor” was deploying techniques similar to previous campaigns associated with Beijing.

Microsoft said Linen Typhoon had “focused on stealing intellectual property, primarily targeting organizations related to government, defence, strategic planning, and human rights” for 13 years.

It added that Violet Typhoon had been “dedicated to espionage”, primarily targeting former government and military staff, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, higher education, the media, the financial sector and the health sector in the US, Europe, and East Asia.

Meanwhile, Storm-2603 was “assessed with medium confidence to be a China-based threat actor”.
