Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Cybercrime robbers
steal up to $1bn from global banks
Compare a burglary
and bank robbery. Which is more risky but rewarding? The answer is so simple.
However, when it comes to online hacking, the risk of attacking financial
institutions doesn’t seem any higher than phishing individuals’ PCs, even though
the firewalls of such institutional systems are much taller and well-protected
than the ones of individuals.
There aren’t any
walls that could perfectly and permanently protect any system from attackers because
they are designed and programmed by humans. And there are other humans that
spend their most efforts to break through the walls and manipulate the system
trying to steal big money.
The higher the
incentives are, the more motivated the intelligent hackers will be.
Enjoy reading and
learning what’s going on in the cyber space.
