This article from CNN shows how people can use technology in dishonest ways. These 37 hackers sent emails, scamming people into sharing their bank account passwords. They used these passwords to empty $3 million from bank accounts. Technology has rapidly changed the way we bank today in many important ways. However, this is the scary part about banking online. It makes it all the more easier for a hacker to gain access to your account. I bank online and have had my account hacked into before, however I was able to catch it before any money was stolen. Online banking users need to be aware and make sure that they never share their passwords or routing numbers with anyone. The banks already have this information and would never ask for it. Even though this is a scary threat, I still continue to use online banking and think it is a great and easy way to bank.
