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.

  • Nida. Maksudnya, apa yang saya lakukan? Dari Rumaih masalah. De bank masalah juga. What do you think I should do? Thanks, Nida for your suggestion!
  • there will always those bad people who run after someone else's money. you save it in your house, it still can get robbed, in banks can get hacked, in your pocket can get stolen. this can happen anywhere, anytime, and to anyone. so don't worry too much about that. money comes and goes. even if bad things happen to you(I hope it won't) just think of it as life experience and move on :)

  • Anda gadis cantik dan saya suka begitu. Perkaya saya, anda sekarang cantik lebih sebelum. Excuse my broken Indonesian language. I wanted to say, this photo is more beautiful than the previous one. Gong back to the cyber assault. I agree with you Fitma. I am planning to bring my money home. Many thanks for your nice words and advice too!

  • Yes i heard about that mr. Dara. Many smart people do their smart for bad things. I font know only for fun, their satisfaction ar anything else. We must carefully with them, and also about bank. I think dont put all your money maybe you can choose another investation like land, house, gold, etc.

  • For me, the bank still is safe place to  deposit our money. because we do not have better place to put our money in. So the important thing is you have looking for a credible bank that will help to keep our money. We do not have choise. Every where you want to keep money in is equally no safe. And I have a suggestion. You should put your money to the investment. I think, It is the best way to keep our money safely.

  • the future delicuency is the cibercelincuency, because there are not borders and it´s not necessary violence,  and at last, they wont attack only the goverments, they´ll atack your money too. :( 

  • Barnaby, you really scared me. Of course, what Sewar said was right. I will not worry about the far distance future. I am worried about tomorrow. Thanks, for your comment on cyber assault!
