In a bank once, a friend showed me a bank website and asked if I liked it.

It was another bank.

I told him I did, he says it's a phishing site, he then showed me real site, no difference.

(If you have the talent to clone a website, why are you stealing?)

My friend told me of how his bank was hacked. The guys wrote a program to charge "bank fee" and we're debiting all Corporate Domm $0.01

Guys were traced to Dubai.

One was caught, made to lure the main programmer . It worked, he came, was arrested

Guy was 23, a student

Police and Bank guys didn't believe.

Guy was given a computer and told "do something". He did.

The problem now? Bank wanted to retain him to build "security". Police said he had to be arrested. Boy was terrified.

Friend told me the Police would keep him and make him work for them. I.e. hack accounts. That it had happened before 😳

So bank called boys parents, who were "big boys" and they bailed their son.

Police were mad. Boy signed undertaking to transfer funds back to bank.

Another friend told me how some boys wrote to secret police for permission to do a demonstration.

Invited bank CIOs. Told them to choose bank, choose airline and choose two cities in 🇳🇬

Guys hacked bank and airline and bought ticket. Then sold patch to banks for millions

Finally got a chance to speak with a hacker. He was self taught, said he simply googled

Ok we emailed, I asked "why not just offer your services as an online consultant".

He said his friend tried to and was arrested and made to sell everything to bail himself.

These boys & girls being hunted are a national asset.

Yes they are criminals, but if the Government can show them a pathway, many will legitimately generate $ for the nation.

In the US, the Pentagon now hosts white hack sessions. Link on next page
