Cyber Bank Robbers More Successful Than Traditional
So at it turns out, cyber commuting isn't just good a good idea for traditional businesses. KrebsonSecurity is reporting that according to federal regulators, in-person bank robberies last year weren't nearly as profitable as their cyber counterparts.
We feel your pain, Joker.
Online bank thefts accounted for more the $25 million in losses from small to mid-sized business accounts in the third quarter of 2009, while their physical counterparts only made off with a paltry $9.5 million in the same period, and only netted $30 million in all first three quarters of the year combined.
So while sitting on your ass, getting no exercise and playing with your computer (and stuff) while you slug back can after can of Mountain Dew may not be the healthiest way to live, it definitely beats getting capped while you're wearing a Nixon mask and trying to get away with the $800 in quarters you just got the teller to hand over.
