Cyber assault

Two days ago, I heard about the news of three or four big famous companies that were raided by hackers. I was floored by the news. I took the news from a narrow-angle. My money in the bank. What will happen if they attack the bank?  The supply of data stealing products and services  is growing. Is the internet not safe anymore? I have heard about  some banks in the US or the UK. They were many fraud attempts or criminal acts on them. They blocked many attempts of hackers attack. I do not have much money in the bank but it gives a lot of pain. The right is hard. Even if you have one dollar in your account. I do not have any idea how these cybercriminals get access to those accounts. The hackers are very adept at revising their styles or methods to evade any detection.

My brother, engineer Khalid is a computer programmer. He always tells me about their methods and  it is not easy to capture them. According to my brother, those intruders have ways to get to your system. When I asked him what would happen to my money if any cyber attempt occurred. He smiled. He hasn't had much to smile about lately. The corners of his mouth turned up to show amusement, then he continued, "most of those people are very smart and genius. The matter is not about your money or my money. It's about countries and governments. Hackers tried to sneak onto the system of the ministries of defense or foreign affairs.  Of course, governments cannot do this alone. I mean to defend themselves from those attackers."

To tell you the truth, I was worried from the growing of the malicious and wicked attempts of those criminals.

  • Sewar is correct. I like what she wrote, "Your years will be blown in the wind" I will use this quotation, "As he came from his mother's womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand." Do you know said these words?

    Be blessed and "Don't worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of its self"

  •         My friend, if you are seeking after those hackers and their methods, your years will be blown in the wind. So, instead, focus on how to bring the joy into your life. We have one life to live. God bless you.   

  • Muito obrigado meu amigo Magno, thanks for pressing the like button of cyber assault! I hope you give us your point of view. Thanks!
  • Hola mi amgo, Raptor. Como estas? Hehe, they are not a few dollars, but they are a few thousand dollars. If it is a few amount, believe me, I won't bother or bring a headache to my head. I want to build a house, I need money, you know how it goes? Thanks, Raptor!

  • Cam on Ya Wen! Now you are pouring the gasoline in the fire or rather, you are adding more wood to the fire. I guess, it's time for me to think practically to shift that amount from there.

  • That is true, it is dangerous. Everything will be more technological in the future. 

  • I brought this to myself, Barnaby Kyte. The bank won't deny it, but the procedures of giving your money back take ages to finish. Some of the members suggested that I took it home and bury it somewhere. Do you agree to that? Thanks for your kind words! 

  • I agree with Soheila's comment. I am small fry and of little interest to hackers. If they hack my bank.... Bank's problem. Dara, we are living in a corrupt age and I believe the world is in for a big shock sooner than we all think......In Australia we have a saying "She'll be right mate, don't worry."

  • Hey! Nilufar, it's not a treasure but a small amount of say, a few thousand dollars. Nothing more. By the way, thanks for that meaningful gift!

  • As we are living in the era where extreme technological advances are highly impact on every parts of our lives, I think nobody is insured from those threatening attempts.

    You better keep you money investing to some real estate. Just my advice to ensure safeety of your  treasure)
