With Artificial intelligence, it is difficult to scam a bank and go free because every dime is traceable. But then, can this same effort be used to stop politicians looting the national treasury? I doubt because somehow somehow, banks are complicits.

Difrent:
If not that banks have invested heavily in cyber security they would be taking hits daily cos every seconds of the day they are being attacked by criminals, even at that they still fall sometimes as hackers get tools too and explore every and any loophole
very true bro

If only these guys could access the bank accounts of the looters in power and distribute their ill-gotten wealth to the masses then and only then would they be doing the country a huge favour cool
Honestly, but most politicians fence their money into offshore accounts. So sad.

Access Bank should look inwards not outside. Shameless
Re: Access Bank Loses ₦1.34 Billion To Fraudsters, Moves To Recover It by sharone21(f): 7:13pm On Aug 17
See how swiftly they acted on their money....

Because of things like this, some mallams etc prefer putting their money inside sack and burying in the ground, forgetting it, while the money rots away.

Hoping government/ CBN will allow Nigerians to recover their stolen money using Court Affidavits( cheaper) instead of paying Lawyer N40,000 inorder to be able to recover N120000

If it happens to them, they will not be able to say it out they will prefer to keep quiet, it will be between them and the bank. You know their own might involve several billions of naira

I believe there is a compromise in terms of password among staff in that branch.

Nearly all transactions requires authorization as a second level.

The bank knows what happened. It is not external.
it's always an insider job bro. A hausa friends I know we t to access bank to get a new arm card, he went to the bank with the expiry one.the moment he life the bank they stated using the old ATM to debit him totaling 320k. We went to the bank to lodge complaints they told us it was from the bank. We request for transection history and it show the money was debited with a POS machine, we trace the address to a POS opposite the bank, but it was a fake address.

Very funny.. the owners of the money took the money out and the bank is crying foul…
Is it that they don’t have money left in their bank? To keep running the bank.

Rich and wealthy people don't save money at the bank. They invest it.

Bad guys, so the hackers just randomly credited people's account just to make the investigation complex.
Exactly, the hacker is trying to disguise by transferring to different accounts, his own account inclusive. The funny thing is, what the hacker gets in his own account might just be 50million naira out of the entire 1.4 billion. Am very sure it will not be any of those internal access bank accounts. He is buying himself time to move the funds.
