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

1.62K 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?

In short, your bank account is not your account balance.

The balance is not a bag, but a piece of paper showing the result of subtracting everything that went out and adding everything that went in.

 Scribbling a bigger number on this piece of paper will only last up to the second any more money is put in or taken out.

Knowing this, the one way to add “digits” to it is by putting “digits” in, which is not in their best interest.
