This is good news if you are a bank worried about people coming after your digital systems. This does bring up some interesting ideas though. Bank robbery is very rarely done in person like it was in the early 20th century. Modern day bank robbers are exploiting digital infrastructure and systems to pull off hauls of money at very massive scales (you couldn’t fit all that cash in a whole fleet of getaway cars).
