The malware attack, first reported by security blogger Brian Krebs, did not affect the company's ATMs or customer networks.

Diebold Nixdorf discovered the issue - in which crooks appear to have installed the ProLock ransomware - on 25 April.

The firm disconnected systems on the affected network to contain the malware and says that it did not pay a ransom and that the impact was "not material to our business".

No such luck for IT services provider Cognizant, which estimates that a ransomware attack on its internal network in April will cost it between $50 and $70 million to remediate.
