Sounds like Stuxnet hit the banking sector and went live.
 
Some banks here in Switzerland have recently exchanged / upgraded their ATMs, too. Everything works smoothly so far.

The fact that these ATM software problems spread accross Europe seems to indicate that it's a virus. It would be interesting to know whether the systems of all the affected banks run on the same system?

Yeah, reading alarmist material reminds me of the idea of just because something is inevitable, doesn't mean it is imminent. I expect the can to kicked down the road far longer than most believe simply because it keeps those in charge in power longer.
 
From Pam and Russ Martens -

“Treasury Secretary Yellen recently warned that the banking ‘turmoil’ from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic might lead to more mergers and that regulators would be – quote – ‘open to’ them. Then the New York Times also reported that Secretary Yellen privately told big banks that she would, and I quote, ‘welcome more mergers.’ ”
