The total amount of cash and the per-withdrawal limits in an ATM limits the loss there. You can't steal millions of dollars from an ATM.

On Feb. 19, cashing crews were in place at A.T.M.'s across Manhattan and in two dozen other countries ... Starting at 3 p.m., the crews made 36,000 transactions and withdrew about $40 million from machines in the various countries in about 10 hours

I stand corrected. That's quite impressive and amazing that they had that many people involved and nobody tipped it off.
