LONDON - Hackers have found a way to use the Internet to commit the perfect bank robbery, according to a new report. A group of Germans calling themselves the Chaos Computer Club claims it can transfer money between people's bank accounts - and the first they will know about it is the listing of the transaction on their statement.
The feat is possible by making use of alleged loopholes in software packages produced by Microsoft - one for Internet access, the other a popular finance control system called Quicken, claims an article in New Scientist.
