Internet Kiosk Security -- Need Info!

[Security Enthusiast <z3ros3c () gmail com>]

I've noticed a large number of pay-per-minute internet kiosks around my 
area, and I'm curious to find out information about them.  I've done 
some research and I've discovered many things that make me suspicious of 
these systems, and I'm trying to compile a presentation for my 
organization (which owns many of these kiosks) outlining the potential 
dangers of these systems.

It is my belief that they are QUITE insecure, but I'd like to present my 
organization with as much information as possible as to why. This would 
include as much system information as possible, as well as potential 
points of attack, methods of compromise, and possible opportunities for 
data theft.

Here is the information I have collected thus far:

Kiosk name: Surf LinX
Default Browser: IE6 (User Agent reports Mozilla/4.0 compatible)
OS: Windows XP / NT 5.1 -- Service Pack 1
System Security: Running Symantec products (anti-virus, etc.)
Possible Risks:
- Outdated software could allow unintentional installation of malware, 
which could compromise the entire system (keystrokes, browsing 
histories, credit card information, etc.) This would be dangerous to the 
organization and its customers.

I'm interested in knowing the manufacturer's information (including 
contact information), and as much information as possible about the 
system itself.

From my research, a number of potential vulnerabilities have already 
been discovered, but more information is desired about the kiosks. 
Unfortunately, I am not (yet) authorized to perform a full pen-test of 
the target.

If anyone has any suggestions, or any information about my query, please 
let me know!

Thank you.
