So, no such threat detected yet.

(Now, the possibility of an AI thief is another story.  Say,
someone training an AI on what data sets they can gather for
phishing schemes and other things it is possible to do with
zero physical interaction - note that the incident that caused
this chain required actually physically placing a device on an
ATM.  Anyway, take note of what schemes work and what
schemes are eventually found out by the cops, as success
and failure data points just like any neural net.)
