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

1.85K 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?

Every month the bank compares the total of every transaction to the change in cash. An extra zero anywhere would get flagged by their reconciliation system immediately.
