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?
In: Technology
Servers log stuff. Who connected, from where, when, what they did, what they clicked on, so forth. Everything leaves a long tail of logs.
Banks might even have separate, one-way systems for logging, so in case server gets hacked, hackers can’t delete logs.
That means that hackers will be detected, and since only reason to hack a bank is to steal information or add money (a personal interest), cops will put the picture together quite quickly. Plus, banks can usually afford any imaginable level of investigation, often having their own expert teams for this.
