Why can’t a Hacker add Digits to my Bank Account?

1.66K viewsOtherTechnology

As most of money in the world is digital anyways, Why can’t people fake transactions to a Bank account or just add one or two zeros to the balance? What makes online banking so safe that this doesnt work?

Most of even well guarded things have been hacked in the past, so i would imagine it’s at least possible?

Digital does not mean arbitrary. Banks’ systems track the the flow of money from account to account. If there is no origin for the funds they can’t be ‘added’ to your account.
