A "gang" who claims to be an international syndicate but is more likely a small group, paid for a couple of criminals to lob Molotov cocktails at a company who discovered a Trojan that the gang developed to compromise ATMs.  They sent threats to the security researchers, giving them a deadline to remove the research from their web site, and when they didn't, some punk ran up to a building and threw a single firebomb, then ran away.  The damage was minimal.
This was all going on in Kiev, St. Petersburg, and Ukraine.

In another story, Brian Krebs spent time in Mexico recently. There's been a huge increase in ATM skimmers and malware that they can apparently order the ATM to spit out money.
