Playing Angry Birds on a hacked ATM?

'How secure are ATMs really? A video circulating online shows a man in Russia hacking a ATM to print out a list of account numbers -- and to play Angry Birds.

The video had been posted to YouTube by user Dmitry Evteev, and is apparently part of a 'security challenge'.

The man first carries out a normal transaction at the ATM to prove it is a real one, then proceeds to print a series of account numbers.

He then manages to extract and install a game of Angry Birds which he then plays using the ATM's touchscreen interface.

The authenticity of the video is a subject of much debate online, although the concept behind the video is certainly plausible. ' (singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sgseen/this_urban_jungle/1627324/russian_guy_hacks_atm_to_play_angry_birds.html)

This is a scam. Once you click on the link from the description, the one saying the concept might be real, you reach some site where you get infected. My antivirus warned me about "Google Earth" trying to add something like "Google.exe" from Windows Temp into startup. First, I don't have Google Earth installed, second, unlike Chrome, Earth had no service or startup entries not even for updates, third, it only happens when I go to that website, not before, not after.
Watch out what you click on.
