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

1.82K 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?

On a related note, there is a common scam where someone takes control of your PC and changes the code of your banks web page to show a different amount than is actually there. This is defeated by clicking a link but unfortunately works on enough people to be profitable for scammers.
