Hacking into your bank account can only be possible of a banker is directly involved or conniving with outsiders to release your details and such banker can be tracked/traced by his sign in details on the bank cyber.

The introduction of BVN has made it more complicated for hackers to penetrate into your bank details. They can access it if you're careless with your BVN or they send a code (robbot) to your phone or email and you ignorantly click on the link.

The link you mistakenly or ignorantly click on will route back to the hackers and that give them free access into your phone/computer. They inturn see every security details (email password, banking password, credit/debit card details) on your computer/phone.

With these, they can log you out of any platform you are and take over your domain or even make transactions without your consent/knowledge.

So be careful with your phone, computer.

It is not possible except a bank insider is involved who divulge some vital Info to perpetrate the act

No bank account can be hacked without the connivance of an insider at the bank or the unknowing actions of the bank account holder. Clicking unknown links, giving banking details to unknown callers, entering your banking details on unsecured sites put you at risk.

No one can hack your account with only your account number

before I go to bank I lay curse on my money that whoever steals my money will use it to treat diseases till he goes into penury. as he is getting cured from cancer,he will catch diabetes,as he is getting cured from diabetes he Will catch herpes etc. when I get to the bank to make deposits I repeat the same curses verbally so much that the cashier will hear after the cashier has collected the money tongue

They notice my pattern so whenever I go to zenith bank to deposit my money the 1st cashier will be passing me to the second and the second to the third

Till one of them answers me tongue tongue
