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

1.68K 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?

The bank is redundant and will have systems in place to catch errors like that. It’s much harder to add money that doesn’t exist and leave it in the bank’s control than to withdraw money that does and run before the bank realizes something is wrong.
