Number Of Hackers Attacking Banks Jumps 81%

Scary statistic of the day: The number of hackers attacking banks worldwide jumped 81 percent compared to last year.

Hackers no longer need to be technical wizards to set up an operation to steal people's banking information and then rob their accounts or sell their identifying information to an even bigger cybercriminal. Hacking toolkits and malware are for sale in the online underground. All hackers need are basic technical skills and the knowledge of where to go to buy what they can't build themselves.
