Krebs on Cyber vs Physical Crooks
In addition, while traditional bank robbers are limited to the amount of money they can physically carry from the scene of the crime, cyber thieves have a seemingly limitless supply of accomplices to help them haul the loot, by hiring so-called money mules to carry the cash for them.
I can’t help but notice one other important distinction between these two types of bank crimes: The federal government sure publishes a lot more information about physical bank robberies that it makes available about online stick-ups.
Go read “Cyber Crooks Leave Traditional Bank Robbers in the Dust” by Brian Krebs. Then ask why we sweep these crimes under the rug.
