Is that an ATM?

I recently came across on eBay someone, actually more than one, selling used and brand new ATM machine (not cheap): ATM Machine on eBay
In the same category of ATM machnies you can see a lot of equipment used as Automated Teller Machines, not just what we call cash ATMs.
It appears that now someone went on and bought one such device and placed it (or hacked a similar device) during the recent DefCon event as can be seen in the following article:

This ATM appear to have been “harmlessly” made into taking $2.00 off your credit account.
What next? putting your credit card into the ATM machine and getting money back ?

In the US, it is perfectly legal to buy an ATM machine, place it in your business, fill it with money and charge people using it to collect a comission, which they have to post on the machine itself.
But taking money from an ATM machine in DefCon? That’s what I call not being paranoid enough.
Thanks very nice
