That sounds like a good start… Those sons-of bitches in pinstripe suits steal untold billions from everyone on the planet annually, and their avarice knows no bounds; extending to stealing the wealth of generations yet unborn…
apparently it isn’t only NSA that can hack their way into stealing personal data for their own motives.
World banks robbed of $1.3 billion by hackers
A multinational gang of cyber criminals has stolen as much as US$1 billion (A$1.3 billion) from as many as 100 financial institutions around the world in about two years, according to IT security firm Kaspersky Lab.
The company said it was working with Interpol, Europol and authorities from different countries to try to uncover more details on what is being called an unprecedented robbery.
The gang, which Kaspersky dubbed Carbanak, takes the unusual approach of stealing directly from banks, rather than posing as customers to withdraw money from companies’ or individuals’ accounts. It said the gang included cyber criminals from Europe, Russia and Ukraine, as well as China.http://www.itnews.com.au/News/400508,world-banks-robbed-of-13-billion-by-hackers.aspx
I heard a guy from Kaspersky say that in some cases they just added a “0”to someone’s account, for example: add “0” to $1000, take out “9000” and the account holder doesn’t feel a thing. I know I’m mathematically challenged (not to mention economically!), but isn’t that how fractional reserve banking works? What’s the bid deal? Oh I get it. Only “certain people” are supposed to be able to create money out of thin air and electrons. Nice work if you can get it.
I can’t believe they even noticed such a small amount. They are not talking money until you say trillions.
