Barclays Pingit App

Hacker Activity on the Rise

The last months have been fertile in hacking news. Just as we used to hear about wars and skirmishes between neighbouring countries, we now hear about hackers stealing account data from banks, gaming networks, credit card providers, and who knows what else is not on the news.

Amid these news we hear about accusations of "cyberwarfare", either pointing the finger at China, Russia or even North Korea. While this is not completely outside the probabilities, I personally see these cyber attacks as good old theft, where one steals money from another.
