  Security measures at banks can play a critical, contributory role in
preventing attacks on customers. These measures are of paramount importance
when considering vulnerabilities and causation in civil litigation. Banks must

for their customers. This paper focuses on vulnerabilities and the increasing
wave of criminal activities occurring at Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) where
quick cash is the prime target for criminals rather than at banks themselves. A
biometric measure as a means of enhancing the security has emerged from the
discourse. Keywords-Security, ATM, Biometric, Crime.
