World Bank Web Site Hacked
November 5, 2007 – 10:45 amAn unknown hacker has implanted a virus using real data into the World Bank website. Websense Security Labs discovered the new Trojan Horse virus and said that the hacker had captured names and e-mail addresses from the contact pages of the bank’s website.
“The web attacker spoofed a working individual at the World Bank and hacked an important bank report,” Venkatesh Swaminathan, regional sales manager, Websense Security Labs, said.
A further check of the entire hacking exercise by Websense revealed that the hacked report pertained to a three-year Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) report on Bulgaria’s achievements over the last eight years, the surveillance roles played by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Union’s (EU) Stability and Growth Pact upon Bulgaria’s EU accession.
Now, Can i say if World Bank which will be having high security can be hacked then how easy it will be to hack our bank and money transaction accounts 
I am really scared after seeing this and thinking How safe is our accounts Online ???

It’s weird, but there is solution of everything in this world. Hackers always find the way to break the systems and websites keep on improving their breaches.

Well if it was designed by humans then it is only as good as the person who designed it. All it takes is a smarter person with enough determenation. There will always be these type of stories no matter how good security becomes.
I dont think we should worry about our money though. Any person good enough to hack Worldbank is not after your bank account

May be there was an insider involved. It does happen at times.
Some years ago there was such a case with CITI bank and they traced an insider, extradited a Russian hacker and had all of them jailed!
Same fate awaits this hacker too!
