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.

  • Sohaila, doste khobam, manzorat aur nazar shoma; the hackers need a lot of money. It's true that my money is not that huge, it's enough to build a house. Anyway, thanks Sohaila for your nice words. By the coming month or so, I might think of taking my deposit from there. Thanks, Sohaila!

  • Koi baat nahi, Rahul Wazir.  It's now about sharing, Rahul. It's about my money. I am afraid. Thanks for your nice words!

  • don't worry... your brother is right ... hackers don't waste their time for my money or yours ... they know what they do :)

  • Kamila kha Selam? Believe me, I want to follow suit. I am thinking of transferring my money from the bank to my house. As you said, civilization has its own impact on our life. Each time, I receive a comment from one of my friends, the idea of shifting my money become stronger. Thanks Selam!

  • Ya Allah! Masksudnya, hackers tidak bagus. Hackers  are a threat to the society. The punishment should be severe on them. I agree with that, Yeri. These people, unless they meet something to stop their malicious act they will continue to ruin the world. Thanks for commenting!

  • Recently we have heard such kind of frauds in our day to day life. As far as the technology is created by human beings it is clear to be distorted by them.  Civilization has its own impact in our life that we can not rid off. Either we need to put our ourselves out of this complicated world.

    I personally decide to put my belongings at my home under a digging a whole. As my grandees do

  • cyber crime is a growing threat everywhere. The perpetrator will get a lesson when they try to hacked military security system. I watched "Who am I?" a German film where those who hacked military sensitive data were killed without being brought to court. They are a danger to society and deserve to meet such fate.

  • Gadungan! Saya tidak suka ini kata. Saya mau uang saya aman. Peppo, anda dan AG, Tina, Jade and even Abdennour sent me a video for that famous hacker in their country and he was considered on of the ten dangerous hackers. Peppo, I am a simple man. I want my money to be safe. Tell you what... I better go and withdraw it from there. Thanks, Peppo for your explanation about cyber assault!

  • It's happening here I guess,. It is in different island where my family is living but there is a problem with the bank, they lost the money in very short time by doing fake transactions. I bet the bank security was hacked.
