EFTPOS/POS fraud

Hi all,
There have been plenty of cases recently of modded EFTPOS machines being
used to skim card info. However, I'm wondering if there have been any cases
of attackers using a connected POS machine to harvest data from the EFTPOS
machine?

That is, have there been documented instances of vulnerable POS machines
being used to stage attacks against the EFTPOS transaction?

I don't even know if this is possible(at least not on machines which do not
store cardholder data).


Thanks
