There is a flip side to that. You ever hear of an actual customer losing their money in one of these attacks on banks?

It's all about the cost of doing vs. the cost of fixing it and who ends up paying.



We do, you just don't hear about it because "we're in it together" and it's not really anyone's specific money being stolen. And banks profit so much, it's just a small dent in their profits. And these security costs and investigation is paid by society, not the banks.
