What happened to using good old cash?

First humans had coins made of gold and silver that were actually worth something. Then it was notes with a promise to pay the bearer the amount blah blah blah. Now all they want you to own is a series of numbers on a computer screen.

And anyway these hackers are a smokescreen to take the heat from the actual thieves………..

@Tash, I’d actually have to have some money in my accounts to be worried, honestly, if they saw my overdraft they’d go all ‘putpocket’ on me and start giving me money!

does this relate at all to the bit in the advert where he talks about how even the most secure systems can be hacked into easily if you know where to look. (and then he looks at a ballon the little girl is holding which many people think is the symbol for barclays)…

Funny how they make a single hacker seem like a big organization of linked hackers, it doesn’t really work that way, its wonderful how the media puts words into someones mouth and exaggerates.

The Analyzer was well known in his time, but then he became greedy, a real hacker is patient and doesnt allow himself to fall into simple mistakes, he will keep his steps untraceable.

The best hackers are those that u never hear of and they r usually Russian, these hackers are usually contracted by “organizations” though, which are probably the hackers the media try to talk about all the time, from my experience hackers from the USA are good but they tend to show off due to their mentality and so they fail and get caught, UK hackers are usually a bit more calm about things and seem to mature faster

So, one of the eps is on bank hacking? Maybe a little bit of extra cash from the machines next week when we key in our digits? That’ll be nice. Putpocketing on a larger scale? It’ll be a start to getting back some of the dosh those dirty bankers stole from us this year in the biggest heist of the century!

Haha I love that advert… nothing like a little subliminal advertising to help you fill your glass.
