Nicholas Sarkozy, president of France, has been the victim of an internet bank attack according to media reports today (source: AFP).
It’s interesting that the thieves do not seem to be aware that they were stealing from a high-profile politician. After all, hacking the president’s bank account is likely to attract significant police attention. More likely, he was one victim among many.
Too often, when we talk about internet security, people say that ‘hackers aren’t interested in me. I’m not important’ In reality, internet criminals buy and sell personal details online in large numbers. They buy in bulk. Sarkozy is the exception that proves the rule.
