Online Bank Robbery Stopped
from the get-rid-of-the-ski-masks dept
Why bother robbing a real bank when you can do it virtually? Police have arrested three men in London for attempting to rob the online bank, Egg. The article does not explain exactly how one goes about robbing an online bank, but I imagine it has to be a little trickier than just walking in and demanding the teller put money in a bag.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
