NCR Corp. Moving Business to Duluth

NCR Corp., a provider of ATMs, announced Tuesday that it is moving its corporate headquarters from Ohio to suburban Atlanta.

Moving the company's headquarters from the Midwest will bring 1,250 jobs to Duluth. The company will also set up a manufacturing center in Columbus, that will employ an added 870 people during the next five years.

In October 2008, NCR reported that it would relocate major portions of its customer service operation in Peachtree City in Atlanta's southern suburbs. That center is expected to create 916 jobs over about two years.

About 2,800 NCR employees currently work in the metro Atlanta area while approximately 1,250 work in Dayton, Ohio.

NCR, which employs around 22,000 people worldwide, already has its retail business in Duluth.

Hackers Hit Atlanta, Worldwide ATMS for More Than $9M

Atlanta ATMS were among those hit late last year by hackers, according to information just released by the FBI.

Authorities report that the group of thieves swiped more than $9 million from ATMs locally and cities around the world after breaking into a computer at an Atlanta-based company.

The thieves got into the computer at Atlanta's RBS WorldPay in November and swiped information on 100 customers' ATM cards. They then proceeded to clone the cards, thereby creating duplicate ATM cards.

Among the other cities hit were New York, Chicago, Montreal and Moscow.

RBS WorldPlay covered the losses of the 100 customers whose cards were compromised, canceled the cards and made diffrent PINS for the customers. The company has also reportedly improved the firewall system to prevent this from happening again.
