Top 4 Cyber Security Threats in 2013

No. 3: The $45 million cyber bank heist

One of the largest bank heists in history took place not at gun point, but rather on the Internet. In May 2013, the New York District Attorney revealed that it was investigating a case of stolen account information, which led to a bank heist of over $45 million. Three individuals were finally charged in the case. The defendants hacked into several systems, such as 7-Eleven, Nasdaq, and J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE:JCP) and use the information to withdraw millions from ATMs.
