The majority like to remain asleep. If they are awakened, they readily fall right back. I remember Blockbuster video asking me for my social security number to open an account. I never did get an account there. The guy at the counter gave me the weirdest look when I said 'no, I like to protect my personal information'. The people haven't changed much in thirty years. The majority are still gullible. Identity theft seems like a brand new thing every few years. Wells Fargo was even opening fake bank accounts in their customers names, recently, and people still have accounts there. I guess Annie Lennox was right when she said 'some of them WANT to be abused.' So 'sweet dreams' to the majority, to the rest of us, awake!
Yep, with some basic social engineering, technically everyone's bank account can be wiped out, if a persistent hacker get's to work.
Either the bank IT personnel are complete morons, or they literally don't care about their customers at all.
I can't believe the security experts are not screaming out loud about this obvious threat.

An expert hacker can hack any bank eventually. The banks and other large orgs. are trying hard to stay one step ahead of them. It is a tough game.
